A transducer (10) for sensing pressure has a first (60) and a second (62) pressure chamber for sensing pressure and a center stop (20) which has two substantially flat faces (52, 54), each face cooperating with an associated sensor diaphragm (32, 42) which forms the first and the second pressure chamber (60, 62). The two chambers (60, 62) are fluidically coupled together. Each of the diaphragms (32, 42) is responsive to a pressure (P1 or P2) respectively and the transducer (10) is easily configured to sense differential, gage or absolute pressure. When the pressure to be sensed exceeds a predetermined value the affected sensing diaphragm (32, 42) is supported by the respective substantial flat face (52, 54) of the center stop (20).
