Abstract
An electrical connector is mounted within an end of a cylindrical pressure sensor housing. The connector has a base that is disc-shaped with a diameter that is less than the diameter of the housing to allow the connector to move within the housing in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the housing. A piece of flex circuit connects conductors carried on the connector base to other electrical components within the pressure sensor while allowing the base to move.
