Abstract
The invention relates to a pressure sensor component comprising a base body and a pressure connection element. The base body comprises a chip carrier, onto which a semiconductor chip with an integrated pressure sensor is mounted. Contact is made with the semiconductor chip by means of connection, which are routed laterally out from the base body. The base body is open on one side, and the opening is bounded by side parts of the chip carrier. The pressure connection element is placed onto the upper end regions of the side parts. The invention is distinguished by the fact that the filler, with which the inner space of the base body is filled and the semiconductor chip is covered, is simultaneously used to connect and seal the pressure connection element and the base body. The ends of the pressure connection element are preferably configured in such a way that the filler is drawn by capillary forces into the interspace between side parts and pressure connection element. The pressure connection element is particularly preferably configured in such a way that hoses of different diameter can be attached.
