Pressure Transducer Ideal for
Off-Highway Applications

June 5, 2007

MOORPARK, Calif. – Kavlico, an operation of Schneider Electric and a global business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), is pleased to announce the release of their robustly designed P4050 Pressure Sensor.

The P4050 Pressure Sensor is ideal for the high vibration environment typical of off-highway applications. The sensor is designed to measure up to 300-psi gage, absolute or sealed gage and is compatible with a wide array of liquids and gases. Particularly well suited for engine oil, air and coolant pressures, the P4050’s threaded brass housing can be configured with a variety of process media ports, as well as Packard or DIN Electrical connectors.

This low cost, yet rugged sensor has excellent EMC (EMI/RFI) performance and over-voltage protection. Operating on a 5 Vdc power supply, the P4050 provides a 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc linear analog output that is proportional to pressure. This temperature compensated OEM sensor can be tailored to meet high-volume application specific requirements for those customer needs that don’t fit standard packaging constraints.
