A hermetic pressure sensor for measuring a fluid pressure includes a hermetic housing, formed of a first housing structure with a membrane section, a second housing structure hermetically connected to the first structure, and one or more strain sensing elements attached to the membrane section. The second housing structure includes openings for one or more electrical pins while a non-conductive hermetic seal holds the electrical pins in place. The pressure sensor measures the pressure of fluid entering the housing while also providing a hermetic seal.

Disclosed is a pressure-measuring plug for a combustion engine. An interconnection structure in the plug body electrically couples by means of a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) an electrical sensing element at one end of the plug body to connector terminals of the plug at the other end of the plug body. An elongated support structure fixates a part of the flexible PCB in the plug body to enable the flexible PCB to withstand automotive conditions and to facilitate during assembly to put the flexible PCB through the hollow plug body.
