Compact pressure transmitters are based on MEMS technology
The B58620F3800B768 AFA piezoresistive pressure transmitter is based on MEMS technology and has a robust stainless steel pressure port. It has been designed for screw mounting in industrial applications, said TDK.
The compact, rugged pressure transmitter has dimensions of 48 x 27 x 24mm and operates at a pressure range of one to 11 bar and temperatures from -20 to +125 degrees C.
The transmitter offers a high measuring accuracy of ±0.5 per- cent FS (full scale) at +20 to +80 degrees C. It is suitable for pressure measurement of non-freezing media such as fuel, diluted acids or contaminated air. The absolute pressure transmitter has a 0.4mm diameter pressure port with an M10 thread. The integrated signal conditioner compensates for non-linearity and temperature errors, said TDK. It provides a precise, calibrated analogue output signal at 0.5 to 4.5V with high immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Typical applications include industrial process control, food packaging systems, pump monitoring, and pneumatic systems in industrial process control, food packaging systems, pump monitoring and pneumatic systems.
TDK was established in 1935 to commercialise ferrite, a key material in electronic and magnetic products. TDK‘s portfolio features passive components such as ceramic, aluminium electrolytic and film capacitors, as well as magnetics, high-frequency, and piezo and protection devices, together with sensors and sensor systems such as temperature and pressure, magnetic, and MEMS sensors. In addition, TDK provides power supplies and energy devices and magnetic heads. The products are marketed under the product brands TDK, Epcos, InvenSense, Micronas, Tronics and TDK-Lambda.
TDK focuses on demanding markets in automotive, industrial and consumer electronics, and information and communication technology. The company has a network of design and manufacturing locations and sales offices in Asia, Europe, and in North and South America.
