An electronics assembly which includes a grounding connection, having a housing, a connector, a portion of the connector formed around the housing, a recess portion integrally formed as part of the connector, a substrate located in proximity to the connector, and circuitry mounted to the substrate such that the circuitry is at least partially disposed in a cavity formed as part of the connector. A conductor is mounted to the connector such that the conductor is located in the recess, and the conductor is in contact with the housing and the substrate. A grounding connection is formed between the circuitry and the housing when the conductor is in contact with the housing and the substrate. The conductor may be made of an elastomeric material, and the conductor deforms when the substrate is placed in proximity to the connector.

Compressible conductive elastomer for electrical connection of orthogonal substrates

A pressure sensor assembly, which includes a support substrate, circuitry mounted to the support substrate, at least one conductor mounted to the support substrate and in electrical communication with the circuitry, and at least one vertically conductive path connected to and in electrical communication with the at least one conductor. The pressure sensor assembly also includes a diaphragm, at least one sealing glass section connected to the diaphragm and the support substrate, and at least one lateral conductive feed-through mounted to the diaphragm. At least one conductive joint is connected to the vertically conductive path and the lateral conductive feed-through, and the conductive joint provides electrical communication between the vertically conductive path and the lateral conductive feed-through.
