PCB Mounted Pressure Sensor

[jdm2008]

I am having a problem with this pressure sensor.

The sensor is glued into a hole that goes to the gas under test. The gas is leaking however so I am looking for a threaded sensor as similiar as possible. I am not an EE and haven't dealt much with boards, but does such a sensor exist, or am I asking something similiar to how I can weld steel to aluminum(in an average welding shop)?

I might have missed your intention here, but it sounds to me like the sensor you've linked to is soldered to a custom PCB and you glue the board/sensor assembly into an orifice. If that's the case an alternative might be to stick with the sensor and PCB arrangement but just put screw holes in the board and then clamp the board over the orifice between sufficient metal to prevent excessive flex. Additionally, put a gasket between the board and the surface its clamped to.

The reason I suggest this over a threaded arrangement is that ultimately I think you want to solder the sensor to a PCB. If the sensor is threaded you have to worry about the whole assembly rotating during manufacture/repair. Could be a hassle.
