Pressure sensor

A pressure sensor for measuring the pressure of a medium in a pressure chamber that includes a wall defining a measuring bore that is configured to receive the pressure of the medium, the pressure sensor comprising:

• a mounting body configured to mount the pressure sensor on the wall of the pressure chamber;
• a front housing part that defines a generally cylindrical shape that elongates along a longitudinal axis between a front region and a diaphragm unit, wherein the front region defines an opening into a hollow interior that is closed by the diaphragm unit, wherein the front region defines an exterior configured to rest against the wall in a pressure-tight manner;
• and
• a measuring unit configured to generate at least one measurement signal under the effect of the pressure;
• wherein the diaphragm unit is configured and disposed to receive the pressure to be measured and to transmit the pressure to be measured to the measuring unit;
• and
• wherein the front housing part defines a joint region disposed along the longitudinal axis between the front region and the diaphragm unit, wherein the joint region is defined by a thickness measured in a radial direction from the longitudinal axis, wherein the thickness of the joint region is at least half of a thickness of the front region measured in a radial direction from the longitudinal axis.
