Pressure sensor and method for manufacturing the same

Method for manufacturing a pressure sensor that includes a housing, a plunger unit and a sensing unit that includes a measuring element;

• which housing defines a housing interior and which plunger unit and which measuring element are arranged in the housing interior;
• which plunger unit defines a distal plunger end and a proximal plunger end, which distal plunger end is arranged on a longitudinal axis of the pressure sensor further away from the measuring element than the proximal plunger end and which distal plunger end protrudes from the housing and which proximal plunger end is in operative connection with the measuring element and configured to transmit to the measuring element, a signal indicative of a pressure of a medium prevailing outside the housing;
• the method comprising the following steps:
• moving the housing along the longitudinal axis over the plunger unit and then placing the housing on the sensor unit;
• moving a sealing element along the longitudinal axis over the distal plunger end and then placing the sealing element on the housing;
• and
• moving a sleeve along the longitudinal axis over the distal plunger end and then placing the sleeve on the sealing element and the housing so that the sleeve is spaced apart from the distal plunger end by a gap that is sealed sufficiently by the sealing element with a sealing pressure that prevents the medium from entering the housing interior.
