Silicon pressure sensor for cost-sensitive applications, has excellent performance and long-term stability

Stocked by Digi-Key, the 1210 series from TE Connectivity Measurement Specialties is a temperature compensated, piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor packaged in a dual-in-line configuration. It is intended for cost-sensitive applications where excellent performance and long-term stability are required. Integral temperature compensation is provided over a range of 0-50°C using laser-trimmed resistors. An additional laser-trimmed resistor is included to normalise pressure sensitivity variations by programming the gain of an external differential amplifier. This provides sensitivity interchangeability of ±1%. Gage, absolute, and differential pressure ranges from 0-2 psi to 0-100 psi are available. Multiple lead and tube configurations are available for specific applications. Typical applications include medical instruments, airspeed and altitude measurements, process control, factory automation, vacuum measurement, and handheld calibrators.
