Zusammenfassung: | A transducer for determining the level of liquid within a container includes a mounting head for connection to the container; a senor tube extending from the mounting head; a substrate located in the sensor tube; at least one sensor positioned on the substrate for sensing a level of liquid within the container; and a float constrained to move along the sensor tube. The float has an actuator for changing an electrical state of the sensor to thereby indicate liquid level. At least one damping section having at least one damping beam integrally formed with the substrate is normally in contact with a surface associated with the sensor tube and is movable toward and away from the substrate to dampen forces acting on the transducer and thus on the at least one sensor. An electronic assembly with integral damping sections is also described. |
