Abstract
In a method for manufacturing a pressure sensor, in which a semiconductor pressure sensing element is applied to an assembly segment of a lead grid, the semiconductor pressure sensing element is electrically connected to contact segments of the lead grid. The lead grid having the semiconductor pressure sensing element is inserted into an injection molding die, and then the semiconductor pressure sensing element, in the injection molding die, is surrounded by a housing made of injection molding compound. A structure is present in the injection molding die through which a pressure feed for the semiconductor pressure sensing element is left free from the jacket of injection molding compound. A stamp is arranged in the injection molding die so as to be separated by a gap from the side of the assembly segment that is facing away from the semiconductor pressure sensing element or from the side of the semiconductor pressure sensing element that is facing away from the assembly segment. As a result of a change in the temperature of the stamp relative to the temperature of the liquefied injection molding compound, a reduction in the flow capacity of the injection molding compound in the area of the stamp is brought about and, as a result, at least a complete penetration of the injection molding compound into the gap is avoided.
