RIVERSIDE, Calif., May 13, 2019 - ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ, a leading manufacturer and supplier of electronic components, today further expanded its line of environmental sensors to include a new pressure sensor. ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ® Model BPS140 pressure sensors are based on state-of-the-art Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, which provides extremely accurate condition readings in a miniature package size. Designed to deliver high sensitivity/accuracy and long-term reliability, the new BPS140 pressure sensors offer extended temperature capability and certain harsh media compatibility.
Model BPS140 is a robust device with a structure that is capable of handling high pressure ranges (15 to 500 PSI) even at high temperatures. Another advantage of ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ' newest pressure sensor design is that its structure is combined with backside pressure measurement that minimizes the number of media-sensitive wetted materials. The purpose of this backside sensing design is to ensure the measured media only touches the backside of the measurement element.
"The structure of the BPS140 provides a distinct sensor accuracy benefit because all electronic components and other sensitive surfaces are isolated from the media," said Alain Leon, Sensors & Controls Product Line Manager at ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ "And, by reducing the number of wetted materials, we are effectively decreasing the media sensitivity of the sensor."
¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ' new sensor family offers stable performance over the product's lifespan, and the ability to work with a wide range of pressures offering a Total Error Band of 2.5 % FS over a temperature range of –40 °C to 150 °C (Six-Sigma process), and a lifetime drift of 0.5 % FS. These features make the BPS140 pressure sensor an ideal solution for a range of industrial, energy, heavy equipment, building & home control and medium/low-risk medical* designs.
¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ Model BPS140 pressure sensors are available now, and are RoHS* compliant. ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ also offers port configuration and calibration customization. For more detailed product information:
