Abstract
A sensor such as a load cell includes a metal body containing the sensor electronics and flexure elements. Power is brought into the electronics and signals are taken out via header pins arranged in any of various groupings so as to extend through holes in the body. The pins are fixed by means of fused glass or ceramic material and the body is sealed to tolerate harsh environmental conditions.
