Gas detection sensor arrangement and method for assembly

Abstract

A method for assembling a gas detection sensor arrangement includes providing first and second portions of an enclosure, and arranging a circuit board on one or more resting surfaces of the first portion. The method further includes forcing the circuit board towards the resting surface(s) such that any gaps between the circuit board and the resting surface(s) are eliminated. The forcing of the circuit board towards the resting surface(s) occurs before and/or during soldering of pins or terminals to the circuit board and advantageously reduces or prevents gaps from existing between the circuit board and the resting surface(s) of the enclosure that could cause damage when a pressure is applied, for example, during an ultra-sonic welding process of the first and second portions. The gas detection sensor arrangement may include a sealing member, or o-ring, that is relatively soft, for example, equal to or less than 80 Shore A.
