Abstract
A pressure sensor element for mounting in a connecting element comprises an isolator body with a laterally projecting membrane. The laterally projecting membrane covering an opening of a passage through which the pressure present at the surface of the membrane is conveyed to a pressure transducer element by means of a hydraulic fluid. In order to mount the pressure sensor element, it is secured in a mounting aperture of the connecting element. The projecting perimeter of the membrane is secured to the surface surrounding the mounting aperture of the connecting element by means of a continuous seam. A membrane type ring in combination with a conventional membrane may be substituted for the projecting membrane, wherein the membrane type ring covers the gap between the pressure sensor element and the adapter element.
