Kavlico P6060 Pressure Sensors are Ideal for Medical Air Applications

November 12, 2008

MOORPARK, Calif. – Kavlico, a global business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), has recently introduced the P6060 high accuracy pressure sensors that are suitable for air pressure measurements in:

• Oxygen concentrators
• Respirators
• Ventilators

These rugged, lightweight (1.3 grams Max.) devices have a piezo-reseitive (PRT) sense element in a low-profile surface mount package. Small in size, the sensors measure 21.29 x 16.71 mm.

Using a 5 volt input, the sensors provide a 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc linear analog amplified output proportional to pressure. The user has the option to specify a digital output that conforms to SPI protocol.

Internal temperature compensation using a state-of-the-art ASIC insures an accurate ±1% of span total error band (TEB) over 0 to +60°C. Available pressure ranges include 13" H20 and 0–1 through 0–75 PSIA, PSIG, and PSID.

The easy-to-use P6060 sensors are EMI/RFI and ESD protected, experience no mounting position effects and provide a fast response. The sensors can be configured with custom pressure ranges and port connections dependent upon the end-users application-specific requirements.

For applications that do not require a ±1% accuracy, the P6050 pressure sensors is available with a ±2% TEB specification over temperature. As an additional benefit, the sensors are RoHS compliant.
