Abstract
A carrier frame has cells with inwardly extending thin flexible tabs. Pressure sensor housings are molded into the frame cells such that only the tips of the tabs penetrate the housing wall and after processing the housings are readily pushed out of the frame. A lead frame is insert molded at the same time. During molding the cells of the frame are open ended and after molding a reinforcing tie bar is attached across the open side of the frame to close the cells. A flange is bent up on the opposite side to lend rigidity to the frame. Preformed code flags are provided in the frame and selectively bent out for coding.
