Abstract
The invention relates to a pressure sensor (), comprising a housing (), a housing element () which may be exposed to a pressure chamber (), mounted on the housing () by means of a metallic membrane () and a measuring cell () which can indirectly measure a pressure acting on the housing element () and transmitted to the measuring cell () as a force resulting therefrom. According to the invention, said pressure sensor () comprises a housing element () embodied as a pin and projects out of the housing (). The advantage of such an arrangement is only a small drilling to a pressure chamber () need be provided, in order to carry out a pressure measurement. The pin () need only be so long that the front end thereof, in the assembled state, approximately reaches the wall () of the pressure chamber ().
