Drucksensor

A pressure sensor has a first and a second sensor body. The first sensor body has a first recess on its rear side forming a membrane area. The second sensor body has a second recess on its rear side and its rear side is connected to the front side of the first sensor body to form a pressure sensor cavity. In order to increase the overload resistance of the pressure sensor, the second sensor body is provided with overload contact devices against which the membrane area contacts at least in the event of an overload, said devices being arranged offset in relation to the membrane area in the direction towards the centre of the membrane area.
