Abstract
Embodiments relate generally to a sensor device, method, and system are provided for housing a sensor. A pressure sensor assembly having a printed circuit board (PCB) with a pressure sensor and a ring mounted on the PCB. The pressure sensor assembly may include a force transmitting member positioned at least partially within the ring. The force transmitting member may transfer a force applied to a front side of the force transmitting member to a front side of the pressure sensor. A reservoir includes an extension that define an opening. The first side of the force transmitting member is exposed to the interior of the reservoir. The extension engages the first side of the force transmitting member to seal the opening.
