More Information
Summary:A sensor assembly comprises an electronics assembly having a circuit board, a sensor mount structure comprising a first side and a second side, and an aperture formed from the first side towards the second side. The sensor assembly can comprise a sensor supported by the sensor mount structure, such that the sensor is situated, at least partially, in the aperture. The sensor assembly can comprise a spring pin connector coupled to the sensor mount structure, and having a connector body and a pair of conductive spring pins supported by the connector body and electrically coupled to the sensor, and blind-mate interfaced to the circuit board of the electronics assembly, thereby electrically coupling the sensor to the electronics assembly. A sensor array module can include a plurality of sensors and spring pin connectors coupled to a sensor mount structure, which can provide a transponder array of a torpedo.
