Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Vermeidung von inneren Luftspalten in Gehäusen von magnetischen Sensoren

摘要

A sensor package (10) and method of making the same is disclosed in which the sensor package (10) includes a sensor component (12) for electromagnetic sensing having a sensor body (16) with a sensor tip (18) at one end. A sensor housing (24) having a cavity for receiving the sensor component (12) is disposed in a substrate and is aligned with an object to be sensed. The housing (24) further includes a snap-fit interface with the sensor component (12) that is configured to admit and secure the sensor tip (18) during assembly thereof. A bracket (26) is mechanically fixable to the substrate at a first end and is in operable communication with the sensor tip (18) at a second end. The bracket (26) is configured to bias the sensor tip (18) towards the object to be sensed for elimination of an internal air gap (84) between the sensor tip (18) and housing (24) formed during assembly thereof.
