A sensor which encompasses at least one sensing element for recording at least one measured quantity. The sensor also has one sensor body for holding the sensing element. The sensing element has at least one connecting lead. The sensor has a modular design and includes a contacting module, whose design is separate from that of the sensor body, for electrically contacting the sensing element. The contacting module has at least one connecting element and at least one connector contact pin, the connector contact pin being surrounded in at least one connection region by the connecting element. The connector contact pin is electrically connected to the connecting lead.

Contacting module for sensor having limited installation space

A method is described for producing a pressure sensor assembly, the pressure sensor assembly having a sensor housing element having a pressure sensor and a base housing element, which have a continuous recess accommodating the pressure sensor and are welded to each other. It is provided that, after the welding, in the area of the welding connection, the recess of the base housing element and/or the sensor housing element is enlarged by material removal. A pressure sensor assembly is also described.

Method for producing a pressure sensor assembly and pressure sensor assembly

A plug-in sensor for measuring at least one property of a fluid medium, in particular for use in the coolant circuit of an air conditioning system of a motor vehicle. The plug-in sensor has at least one sensor for detecting the at least one property. Furthermore, the plug-in sensor has at least one sensor body having an external thread for threading the plug-in sensor into a threaded bore hole of a housing. Furthermore, the plug-in sensor includes a sealing surface for sealing an inner space of the housing against an outer space. The external thread has at least two threaded sections: a first threaded section including at least one continuous thread, and a second threaded section including at least one interrupted thread, at least one interruption of the at least one interrupted thread forming at least one blow-out groove.

Plug-in sensor for measuring at least one property of a fluid medium

A threaded connection piece, e.g., a connection piece of a sensor, includes a cylindrical base body that is able to be at least partially introduced into an accommodating opening, which is provided, at least over a part of its longitudinal extension, with a threaded section and, at its end face, with a sealing surface. In order to improve the sealing properties of the threaded connection piece when it is screwed into the accommodating opening, the cylindrical base body is developed to be elastic between the threaded section and the sealing surface.

Threaded connection piece

A sensor plug for pressure and temperature measurement of a fluid medium includes a sensor body having a sensor body axis, as well as a pressure sensor disposed substantially concentrically on the sensor body axis. Also provided in the sensor body is a through orifice for connecting the pressure sensor to the fluid medium, and a temperature sensing element orifice having a temperature sensing element received therein. The temperature sensing element orifice has a temperature sensing element orifice axis that is inclined with respect to the sensor body axis in such a way that at its end pointing toward the fluid medium, it is inclined toward the sensor body axis.

Sensor plug for combined pressure and temperature measurement

A combined pressure and temperature sensor for recording the pressure and the temperature of a medium. The combined pressure and temperature sensor includes a sensor element in which at least one channel is developed for accommodating a temperature sensor and at least one channel is developed for recording a pressure. The at least one channel, for recording a pressure, opens out under a pressure sensor. The at least one channel for the temperature sensor runs centrically in the sensor element.

Combined pressure/temperature sensor having centric temperature measurement

A combined pressure and temperature sensor for recording the pressure and the temperature of a medium. A sensor element of the combined pressure and temperature sensor includes a through-hole to a diaphragm and a bore for accommodating a temperature sensor. The diaphragm cooperates with a pressure sensor. At an end face of the sensor element, on the side of the medium, a cover is fastened, in which a hollow space is developed to accommodate the temperature sensor.

Combined pressure and temperature sensor

A pressure sensor module having a sensor housing which includes a housing part in which electrical conductors are partially embedded, the sensor housing being provided with a first cavity, in which a sensor system is situated, and a second cavity which is sealed against the first cavity and in which is provided at least one capacitor, and the first cavity being provided with a receptacle part having a receptacle formed by a peripheral wall, the sensor system being inserted into this receptacle and covered by a protective covering filled into the receptacle. The sensor system is contacted with connecting elements provided on the receptacle part, these connecting elements being directly connected to connecting sections of the electrical conductors; and the at least one capacitor provided in the second cavity is connected to at least one of the electrical conductors via an electrically conductive material.

Sensor module

A pressure measuring device for detecting a pressure to be measured of a medium, having a pressure housing; a converter situated in the pressure housing for converting a mechanical force produced by the pressure to be measured into an electrical signal; an output unit for outputting the electrical signal; a separator for separating the medium from the converter; and a transmission device for transmitting the force produced by the pressure to be measured to the converter.

Method for detecting a pressure of a medium and pressure measuring device

A pressure sensor for measuring the pressure in a space acted upon by high pressure. The signals detected by the pressure sensor are supplied to evaluation electronics. A sensor diaphragm is accommodated on the end of the pressure sensor pointing towards the space acted upon by high pressure. The sensor diaphragm takes the form of a steel diaphragm, to whose back side a thin, metallic layer accommodating piezoresistive measuring elements is applied. The thin, metallic layer is contacted by transmission elements and connected to the evaluation electronics.
