PCB Piezotronics, Inc. Pressure Sensor, ICP® 132A36

The PCB Piezotronics, Inc. Pressure Sensor model 132A36 is an ICP¬Æ pressure sensor designed for high-frequency applications. It has a measurement range of 50 psi (345 kPa) and a sensitivity of 140 mV/psi (20.3 mV/kPa). The sensor can withstand a maximum dynamic pressure of 800 psi (5515 kPa) and features a resolution of 0.001 psi (0.007 kPa). With a resonant frequency of at least 1000 kHz and a rise time of less than 3 microseconds for incident pressure, this sensor is suitable for applications requiring rapid response. The operating temperature range is from 0 to +175 ¬8F (-18 to +79 ¬8C). It operates with an excitation voltage of 20 to 30 VDC and has a constant current excitation requirement of 2 to 20 mA. The sensing element is made of ceramic, housed in acetal material, and sealed with epoxy for durability. The sensor has a weight of 0.095 oz (2.7 gm) and features a 10-32 coaxial jack for electrical connection. This product is ideal for engineers looking for a compact and responsive pressure sensor for their projects.
