Abstract
A sensor assembly includes a housing having a body having a distal end portion defining an internal cavity and a proximal end portion defining a plurality of internal passageways. A micro-sensor is disposed within the internal cavity and exposed to the outside environment and an internal wall separates the internal cavity from the plurality of internal passageways. The micro-sensor abuts the internal wall.
Claims14
A sensor assembly comprising:
- a housing comprising a unitary body having an internal cavity exposed to an outside environment, a plurality of internal passageways separated by an intermediate wall of the unitary body, the plurality of internal passageways extending and opening into the internal cavity;
- a micro-sensor disposed within the internal cavity and exposed to the outside environment, the micro-sensor having a pair of lead wires that extend from the micro-sensor through the plurality of internal passageways;
- and
- an internal wall separating the internal cavity from the internal passageways, wherein the micro-sensor abuts the internal wall.

A housing for use in positioning a micro-sensor, the housing comprising a one-piece member comprising:
- an internal cavity exposed to an outside environment;
- a plurality of internal passageways separated by an intermediate wall of the one-piece member, the plurality of internal passageways extending and opening into the internal cavity, the internal cavity defining at least one surface that geometrically matches a contact surface of the micro-sensor;
- and
- an internal wall separating the internal cavity from the internal passageways, wherein the internal wall is configured to receive the micro-sensor for proper positioning within the housing.
