In an embodiment, a speed sensor includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. The first portion includes a sensing assembly for generating a signal associated with a movement of an object external to the speed sensor. The second portion includes a wiring harness for transferring the generated signal to a device external to the speed sensor. The first portion and the second portion are joined. The third portion is over-molded over a point of the speed sensor where the first portion joins the second portion. Over-molding the third portion at the point may act to seal the point from outside contaminants. Moreover, over-molding the third portion at the point may act to strengthen the speed sensor at the point.

Speed sensor

A differential liquid pressure sensor () has an upper housing () that mounts a connector portion () and receives in a recess a sense element module (). The sense element module is a body in which a generally U-shaped oil filled passageway () is formed with openings at opposite ends provided on respective first and second diaphragm mounting surfaces. A fluid pressure sense element, such as a piezoresistive sense element () is disposed in one of the passageway openings and flexible metal diaphragms () are mounted on the respective diaphragm mounting surfaces of the module facing a common direction. A lower housing () having first and second port connections for the respective diaphragms is disposed on the lower surface of the module.
