Kavlico, a
global business unit of Custom Sensors &
Technologies (CST), has developed the P255 general purpose pressure sensor
with a mixed-signal CMOS ASIC for enhanced performance. Specifically designed
for pressure measurements of 0-15 to 0-1000 PSIA/PSIG, the P255 is a robust
device utilizing a ceramic diaphragm that can withstand exposure to a wide
array of liquid and gaseous process media.
The P255 also provides a linear amplified output of
0.5 to 4.5 Vdc that is proportional to pressure. The sensor has low power
consumption, superior long-term stability, and excellent repeatability and
hysteresis. Other significant features
include over-voltage, reverse polarity, and short circuit protection.
The P255 has a 316 stainless steel
housing and has an operating temperature range of -40° to +125°C. Due to the sensors high shock and vibration
tolerance, it is well suited for applications such as hydraulic systems, refrigeration
and HVAC systems.
