Abstract
This disclosure provides example systems and methods for high pressure flat plate transducer assemblies. A first example embodiment of the transducer assembly is provided, which includes a transducer, a housing, and a transducer header. The transducer header can be configured for accepting the transducer and for mating with the housing at an interface between the header back side and the housing. The first embodiment of the transducer assembly is configured such that a pressure exerted on the transducer compresses the interface between the header back side and the housing. A second example embodiment is provided that includes a one-piece housing having a built-in header portion configured for accepting the transducer. In this second embodiment, the interface adapter is configured for attaching to a mating surface and to the housing. In the second example embodiment, the transducer assembly is configured such that the pressure presses the transducer against the housing.
