Abstract
A sensor element is mounted within an enclosure package, the sensor element interconnected with plural discrete conductors available for electrical interconnection exterior to the package. The package is formed with opposing panels, wherein each of the opposing panels provides an aperture for free gas flow through the package. One of the panels further provides an outwardly extending flange surrounding one of the apertures, thereby forming a gas vestibule adjacent to the respective aperture.
