A pressure header assembly has a closed front and back surface. The back surface has an aperture for accommodating a separate dual die pressure header. The dual die pressure header has an absolute and differential pressure sensor positioned thereon. A differential pressure port is located on a side surface of the pressure header assembly and is directed to a bore in the pressure header assembly. The bore contains an elongated tube which is positioned in the pressure header assembly and locked in place by means of a crush nut and locking nut assembly. One end of the tube is coupled to the differential pressure port, while the other end of the tube accommodates a differential pressure tube which is bent in an arcuate position and directed to the underside of the sensor of the differential sensor assembly mounted in the dual die pressure header. Suitable leads from the dual die pressure header assembly are directed to a terminal board which is mounted within a pressure transducer housing shell, which terminal board coacts with an outboard contact cap assembly forming the transducer. The pressure header assembly portion also contains extending tabs which have apertures for external mounting.

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for providing seal to a pressure tube for providing an input to a pressure port for a transducer, said apparatus comprising: a transducer header having a pressure port opening, said header having at least one closed surface; a bore opening to said pressure port opening and extending to said at least one closed surface; a crush ring positioned in said bore, said crush ring having a tapered outer surface which tapers from a small diameter at the front of said crush ring to a larger diameter at the end of said crush ring; a tube at least partially associated with said bore; and a lock nut surrounding a central section of said tube, wherein an end of said lock nut contacts said larger diameter of said crush ring and causes said crush ring to be forced into said bore, creating a tight pressure seal between said tube and said bore in said transducer header. 2. The apparatus for providing seal to a pressure tube of claim 1, wherein the lock nut is threaded. 3. The apparatus for providing seal to a pressure tube of claim 1, wherein the end of the lock nut has a flange coextensive with a shaft, wherein the flange and shaft are adapted to strengthen the seal to the pressure tube. 4. The apparatus for providing seal to a pressure tube of claim 1, wherein the crush ring is made of a soft material adapted to deform upon a force applied by the lock nut.
