ABSTRACT:
A position sensor, in particular, a modular position sensor for easy coupling to another modular device, like a gas pedal of a vehicle. The sensor eliminates the use of permanently attached electrical leads or pins attached to, for example, the output pads on flexible film coupled to a rotor. The sensor is provided with a housing wall having slots therein, conductive elements, a flexible film, and a pressure wall. In the preferred embodiment, the sensor is mounted on an external device having pins or electrical leads. The pins protrude through the slots in the housing wall and the contact conductive elements that are in direct contact with the output pads on the flexible film.
