Abstract

A fluid pressure measurement unit is manufactured by steps of providing a measurement element with a measurement chip arranged on a first chip carrier side and a plurality of socket-shaped terminal contacts for contacting contact terminals of the measurement chip, the socket-shaped terminal contacts protruding from a second chip carrier side opposite from the chip carrier first side; providing a housing element comprising a plurality of receiving holes in a housing element first side which are implemented to receive the socket-shaped terminal contacts when combining the housing element with the measurement element, wherein the receiving holes extend from the housing element first side to a housing element second side opposite from the housing element first side; and combining the measurement element and the housing element, wherein the second chip carrier side is opposite from the housing element first side and the socket-shaped terminal contacts are arranged in the receiving holes.
