Abstract

Sensor (41) is held between its arms (63) and nubs 60 in cover (31). A circuit board (57) on which the sensor is mounted remains outside of the cover, and panels (55) of the sensor (41) extend upward to prevent the circuit board (57) from collapsing leads (45, 53) which connect the sensor to the circuit board. Reliable operation is obtained without narrow tolerances.
