Abstract
A fluid sensor has an electrically grounded header and a plurality of feedthrough conductors extending through the header between opposite ends of the header. The feedthrough conductors are connected to a piezoelectric tuning fork resonator. A temperature sensor is adjacent the tuning fork resonator. A shroud partially encloses the tuning fork resonator and temperature sensor. A printed circuit board is in conductive electrical contact with the feedthrough conductors. The printed circuit board includes an ASIC chip operable to transmit a variable frequency signal to the tuning fork resonator through the feedthrough conductors to oscillate the tuning fork resonator and to monitor impedance of the tuning fork resonator as a function of frequency. The ASIC chip is spaced from the feedthrough conductors a distance of no more than about 2 mm. The printed circuit board is spaced from the tuning fork a distance of no more than about 20 mm.
