A connector for a power module to selectively engage metallic pads positioned on the backplate printed circuit board is disclosed. The connector includes a first set of contacts and a second set of contacts positioned such that the first set of contacts makes engagement with the metallic pads before the second set of contacts make such engagement. The contacts are capable of carrying relatively high current.

A pressure transducer (10) in which a sensor beam (14) is connected to a diaphragm (18) by a shaft assembly (120) which is made up of a sensor post (122) attached to the sensor beam (14), an overpressure stop member (124) attached to the diaphragm (18), and a rigidifying material (126) connecting the sensor beam (14) to the overpressure stop member (24) is disclosed. The overpressure stop member (124) is formed with an extended hollow cylindrical portion (125) that surrounds the sensor post (122), and the rigidifying material (126) fills the space between them.
