Abstract
A method and apparatus for enclosing a sensing device, such as an accelerometer, for reducing outside forces and strains on the sensing device. The cover includes two parts that bond to each other thereby forming a clamshell-type cover. The sensing device can float within the cover, is bonded to bonding points on one of the cover parts or is held in place by a pressure fit of the two cover parts on the sensing device.
