Microfused silicon strain gauge (msg) pressure sensor package

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for a microfused silicon strain gauge pressure sensor. A pressure sensor package includes a sense element configured to be exposed to a pressure environment, the sense element including at least one strain gauge, an electronics package disposed on a carrier and electrically coupled to the sense element, the carrier disposed on a port that includes the sense element, the port enabling a decoupling feature for sealing and parasitic sealing forces and a reduction of a port length, a housing disposed about the sense element and electronics package, and a connector joined to the housing and electrically connected to the electronics package, the connector including an external interface.
