Abstract
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.
