New chip for pressure sensors

Milpitas, Calif. —UltraStable silicon micromachined chip has increased the performance over a broader temperature range of the TO-8 Series pressure sensors. Temperature errors are improved to 0.5% full scale output over a range of –20 to +85 °C. These solid-state piezoresistive pressure sensors are available in 6- and 8-pin packages and standard ranges of 0-15 and 0-250 psi.

Milpitas, Calif. —UltraStable silicon micromachined chip has increased the performance over a broader temperature range of the TO-8 Series pressure sensors. Temperature errors are improved to 0.5% full scale output over a range of–20 to +85 °C. These solid-state piezoresistive pressure sensors are available in 6- and 8-pin packages and standard ranges of 0-15 and 0-250 psi. TO-8 Series includes four basic PCB (printed circuit board) mountable package types. Models 16/17/46/47 measure absolute and gage pressures and are top entry packages with the pressure port operating away from the PCB. Models 26/27 are bottom entry measuring gage pressures. Models 36/37 measure differential pressure in a dual-port design combining top and bottom packages.
