A sensor package having a force sensing element and a housing. The force sensing element has an element surface, a well, a first and second shelves within the well. The housing has a housing surface. The first and second shelves of the housing are arranged to support the force sensing element so that the element surface and the housing surface are substantially coplanar and so that the element surface of the force sensing element directly senses a force without need of an actuator.

Sensor package for flush mounting of a sensor

A flow sensor package with a housing, a pressure sensing element, a restriction, and an elastomeric seal. The housing has a base, a cover, an inlet port, an outlet port, and first and second channels. The first and second channels are in parallel between the inlet port and the outlet port. The pressure sensing element is in the first channel and the restriction is the second channel. The elastomeric seal engages the pressure sensing element to prevent flow of a fluid, which may be a liquid, through the first channel. The elastomeric seal has a conductive path from the pressure sensing element to a lead, which extends outside the housing.

Flow sensor package

An environmental sensor apparatus and method of making same is disclosed in which an environmentally sensitive silicon die is sandwiched between an elastomeric media seal and a conductive elastomeric pad contained within a housing. The conductive elastomeric pad contacts a printed circuit board (PCB) which leads from the housing. The die, elastomers and PCB are secured by a press fit plug which contacts the PCB and is heat staked to the housing to provide a substantially flush hermetic seal.
