Miniature high performance pressure sensor Competitively priced pressure sensors with the new EPT1400 series for gas and liquid gauge pressure sensors to 250 bar. The miniature 304-grade stainless steel sensor is based on an M8 port configuration in a 14 mm diameter, SW14 body with a nominal length of 32 mm. The EPT1400’s design features a hermetically welded, thin-film measuring cell coupled with high-level output circuitry that yields a response time of <1ms with an accuracy of < +/-0.8% and long term stability of < ± 0.1 %. Built for use in harsh environments, including automotive, heavy industrial, HVAC, off-road construction and agricultural applications, the sensor is sealed to IP67 and has a generous shock and vibration rating as well as an operational temperature range from -40° to +125°C. The impressive specification also includes an over-range pressure of up to 4x rated and burst pressure rating to 6x. With a working life in excess of 10 million cycles and a sensing element that contains no silicon and no internal O-rings, safe and reliable operation is ensured. The new sensor is available in 10 pressure ranges from 0 to 2 bar up to 250 bar with ordering options including a choice of 0-5 VDC or 10-32 VDC excitation voltage for a 0….4.5 V output signal and is available with 600mm free cable or a sleeved and booted option. Custom options are available on request and a combined pressure and PT1000 temperature sensor version, the EPTTE1400, is also offered.
