A catheter with a lumen containing a MLCC sensor assembly provides many advantages. The MLCC package can have a reference hole linking to a channel that is buried or on bottom layer of the package to provide venting or a reference input to a pressure sensor. A channel passing completely through the assembly can provide a path for reference air to a second sensor positioned further into the catheter. An ultraminiature assembly is designed to be capable of fitting inside a 6 French catheter with two lumen. One lumen is used for the sensor assembly, wires and reference pressure while a second can be used for other purposes such as a fluid fill lumen in Urology. The MLCC package allows forming connections to standard miniature pressure die using standard automated techniques such as wire bonding. Larger external connections on the MLCC package allow ease of connection to catheter wires or to micro-ribbon cables.
