PCM120 Sub-Miniature Pressure Sensor

The PCM120 series pressure sensors allow a combined pressure and temperature measurements at a same location. Wetted parts being all titanium, they are compatible with all common and hostile pressure media used in aerospace and automotive. Miniature dimensions, low mass and rugged design make PCM120 series pressure sensors well adapted to embedded applications on vehicles, aircrafts, missiles, satellites, etc. The pressure transducer utilises EFE thin film technology and a platinum RTD senses media temperature. The pressure and temperature devices are designed to operate independently. Output for pressure is an amplified 0.5-4.5Vdc while temperature signal is directly the one from PT1000 sensor.

Features

  • Sub miniature and light sensor
  • Temperature output

Applications

  • Automotive
  • Test benches
  • Aerospace
  • Automotive – on vehicle

 

Description

EFE PCM120 series pressure sensor allows a combined pressure and temperature measurements at a same location. Wetted parts being all titanium, they are compatible with all common and hostile pressure media used in aerospace and automotive. Miniature dimensions, low mass and rugged design make PCM120 series pressure sensors well adapted to embedded applications on vehicles, aircrafts, missiles, satellites, etc. The pressure transducer utilises EFE thin film technology and a platinum RTD senses media temperature. The pressure and temperature devices are designed to operate independently. Output for pressure is an amplified 0.5-4.5Vdc while temperature signal is directly the one from PT1000 sensor.

EFE products are designed to withstand the harshest environments. Supplying pressure sensors for on-board applications for over 35 years has made them aware of the constraints of such environments on sensors, especially miniature.
EFE’s robust technology, associated with proven high quality electronics have been successfully used on board applications in automotive, motor sport, military and aerospace applications.

Harsh environment sensors consist often in applications combining high levels of shocks, vibrations, accelerations and temperature.

Nevertheless unsuitable sensors can also be damaged by corrosive fluids, radiations (nuclear), pressure pulsations or spikes.

In all these cases EFE offers dedicated proven solutions. EFE’s thin film technology has many advantages, being 100% metallic, capable of high numbers of pressure cycles and adapted to gamma radiation environments.
EFE manufacturing process, with adapted burn-in and high numbers of quality controls applied at 100% of their production, as well as the choice of high quality components, is a guarantee of the reliability of their sensors in your application.

Applications : on-board vehicle, flight test, missile, nuclear applications, satellite,etc.
