PCB Mount Pressure Sensor with Optional Digital SPI Output
Moorpark, CA—Kavlico, a global business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST)’s P6050/P6060pressure sensor is a low-profile, surface-mount device that is compatible with standard PCB assembly methods. The sensor incorporates a piezo-resistive sensing technology that allows for a miniature package design and flexible pressure ranges.
The P6050/P6060requires a 5 Vdc power supply and is available with a standard analog linear amplified output of 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc proportional to pressure. System designers can select a standard voltage output device or alternative digital SPI output. When selecting the digital output, system designers eliminate components due to the embedded 10bit analog to digital converter. This option saves space, component cost and may reduce power consumption as well as overall design complexity.
This temperature-compensated unit is available in absolute, gage or differential configurations with pressure ranges from 0-13” H20 to 0-75 PSI. Designed for a variety of industrial uses, the P6050/P6060measures the pressure of air and dry gases for medical applications such as oxygen concentrators, respirators, CPAP systems, hospital beds, and other medical and laboratory instruments.
The P6050/P6060can be specified with vertical, horizontal or dual horizontal pressure ports and has an accuracy specification of ±0.5% for linearity, repeatability and hysteresis at 25°C and ±2.0% total error band from 0 to 65°C.
