De-Gas Bottle with Capacitive Plastic Sensor

By over-molding a 2-pin capacitive sensor of electro-conductive plastics directly onto the injection-molded de-gas bottle, a separate stainless-steel sensor assembly and its gasket are eliminated, which in turn avoids coolant leaks and corrosion issues of the previous system. This improves quality, reduces engine problems due to lack of cooling fluid, and lowers weight 2%, direct costs 15%, and indirect costs 15%.  A special device was developed to successfully overmold the electro-conductive pins.
