A sensor package comprising an X-axis sensor circuit component, a Y-axis sensor circuit component, and a Z-axis sensor circuit component, each mounted to a top surface of a rigid substrate. To minimize the height of the package, a channel is cut out of the top surface of the substrate in order to accommodate the Z-axis sensor component. On the Z-axis sensor component, input/output (I/O) pads are all arranged in an array along one edge of the sensor to conductively cooperate with I/O pads, or solder-filled vias, on the substrate located at a top edge of the channel. Once the sensors have all been mounted to the substrate, the package is encapsulated, and the overall height is less than 1.2 mm.
