Kavlico P356 Designed for Low Pressure Measurements

February 2, 2009

MOORPARK, Calif. – Kavlico, a global business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST) has designed the P356 low pressure gage/differential pressure sensor for applications requiring long-term stability and an operational life in excess of ten years.

Typical applications include:

• Pneumatic controls
• Filter monitoring
• Tank level
• Leak detection

Available in pressure ranges of 0–0.5, 0–1, ±1, 0–3, and 0–5 PSI, the P356 provides a linear amplified voltage output proportional to pressure of 0.5 through 4.5 Vdc from a 5 Vdc regulated power supply. Featuring a brass housing and excellent EMI protection, this device has a response time of <10m sec and an operating temperature range of -20° to +125°C. Built-in reverse polarity and over-voltage protection allow for ease of installation while excellent hysteresis, repeatability, and linearity provide accurate measurement.

The P356 is packaged for high volume applications requiring a rugged, compact design while offering flexible configuration options for application-specific requirements. Key to the sensor’s high performance and low cost is Kavlico’s ceramic, variable capacitive sensing element and integral ASIC with hybrid circuit for reliable signal conditioning.
