Zusammenfassung:A pressure-sensor device (1) comprises: -a pressure-sensitive component (5, 5a, 6), having a sensor body (5) that includes an elastically deformable membrane part (5a) and at least one detection element (6) suitable for detecting a deformation of the membrane part (5a); -a structure (2, 3) for supporting the pressure-sensitive component (5, 5a, 6), having at least one passageway (15) for a fluid of which a pressure is to be measured, the supporting structure (2, 3) comprising: -a supporting body (2) with respect to which the sensor body (5) is positioned in such a way that its membrane part (5a) is exposed to the fluid exiting the at least one passageway (15), the supporting body (2) having at least one through cavity (14), -at least one compressible element (20, 21), which is configured for compensating possible variations of volume of the fluid and which delimits at least in part at least one respective duct for the fluid (20a, 21a) having an inlet end and an outlet end. The supporting body (2) has a first body portion (2c) comprising a transverse wall (22) of the through cavity (14), defined in which is at least one first passage (23a-23b), and the passageway (15) for the fluid comprises the at least one duct (20a, 21a) of the at least one compressible element (20, 21) and the at least one first passage (23a-23b) of the through wall (22). The at least one first passage (23a-23b) has at least one respective inlet (23a) and at least one respective outlet (23b), at least one of the at least one inlet (23a) and the at least one outlet (23b) being in fluid communication with the at least one duct (20a, 21a). The at least one inlet (23 a) and the at least one outlet (23b) of the at least one first passage (23a-23b) are arranged so as to define a tortuous path for the fluid, the at least one inlet (23 a) and the at least one outlet (23b) being in particular arranged in positions staggered in a lateral direction.
