Hermetically protected sensor assembly
First Claim
1. A hermetically protected electronic assembly comprising;
- (a) a housing having walls defining a shallow impervious cavity with a depth no greater than 12 mm and with a generally flat cavity bottom surface;
(b) conductor pins extending integrally through said housing walls and along the cavity bottom surface;
(c) an insulating supporting platform resting on said cavity bottom surface with the ends of the conductor pins extending therethrough to secure the position of the platform, said platform carrying an electrical circuit integrated to at least the top surface of the platform and connected to said conductor pins;
(d) at least one accelerometer component supported in said housing by said platform and operatively secured to said circuit to avoid thermal expansion interference; and
(e) a waterproofing silicon gel filling the entire space within said housing including immersing said circuit, platform, accelerometer and pin connectors without affecting their function.

Abstract
A hermetically protected electronic assembly that has (a) a housing having walls defining a shallow impervious cavity with a depth no greater than 6-12 mm and with an cavity bottom surface; (b) conductor pins extending through integrally said housing walls and along the cavity bottom surface; (c) an insulating supporting platform resting on the cavity bottom surface with ends of the conductor pins extending therethrough to secure the position of the platform, the platform carrying an electrical circuit integrated to at least the top surface of the platform and connected to the conductor pins; (d) at least one electronic sensor component supported in the housing by the platform and operatively secured to the circuit; and (e) a water-proofing silicon gel filling the entire space within the housing including surrounding the circuit, platform, sensor and pin connections therein.
