I don't know the exact part number  you need, but the part you want is
made by Motorola and its in one of their books (don't remember which
on).  Designed to be mounted on a PC board, think they have models
that go to 200psi, and its cheap, too if i remember right.  My
Stewart-Stevenson GFI's controller had three of them on the board (one
for rail pressure, one for MAP, one for atmospheric.)
