1. A signal transduction device comprising:

  • a support element;

    an electrically insulated electric circuit connected with the support element;

    a piezoceramic sensor connected with the support element, the piezoceramic sensor configured to transmit a signal to the electric circuit; and

    an integral protective coating provided on the piezoceramic sensor and having properties of mechanical strength and temperature resistance, the integral protective coating comprising;

    a main body comprising an electrically insulating material, andan element comprising a thermally insulating material, the element connected with the main body and being in contact with the support element at a region substantially perimetrally surrounding the piezoceramic sensor, the element configured to direct a predetermined portion of an external compression force acting on the signal transduction device onto the region of the support element substantially perimetrally surrounding the piezoceramic sensor.
