A pressure sensor and method of manufacturing the like are provided for determining a pressure of a fluid. An example pressure sensor includes a pressure sensor housing sealably attached to a diaphragm at a first end. The header includes a lip configured to engageably fit with the second end of the pressure sensor housing to create a hermetically sealed component compartment. The header also includes header pin(s) configured to transmit electrical signals between an interior and an exterior of the hermetically sealed component compartment. A sensing element and a processor are disposed within the hermetically sealed component compartment and in communication with one another. The sensing element is mounted to the processor within the hermetically sealed compartment. The corresponding method of manufacture is also provided.
