The present invention relates to a mounting assembly for a pressure sensor in a pressure transmitter. The mounting assembly includes a header having a cavity opening to a first surface. The cavity is defined by an inner endwall and an inner sidewall. A support is joined to the inner endwall within the cavity on a first support end. A pedestal has a first pedestal end supporting the pressure sensor and a second pedestal joined to the second support end. Aligning means align the second pedestal end to the second support end in order that a volume of the mounting assembly is increased to thereby reduce a quantity of fill fluid needed in the sensor cavity.

[ What is claimed is:] [6.] A method for joining a support of a pressure transmitter used to support a pressure sensor in a sensor cavity to a support surface of a header of the pressure transmitter, the support surface having an aperture, the method comprising:providing a support having an extending portion and an annular surface disposed about the extending portion;positioning the support in the sensor cavity wherein the aperture receives the extending portion and the annular surface faces and is positioned in close proximity to the support surface without making contact with the support surface;locating a meltable preform between the support surface and the annular surface of the support, the preform having a width less than a distance of a gap between the support surface and the annular surface;heating the meltable preform to melt the preform so that the melted preform flows into the aperture in order that the support is joined to the header at only the extending portion.
