Toxic gas sensors socket mount directly
into PCBs
Initially available for the measurement of Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen Sulfide, Alphasense's D Series toxic gas sensors may be directly socket mounted into printed circuit boards
Alphasense has answered the gas detection industry's need for a good miniature sensor design, with a new range of high specification toxic gas sensors, the D Series, measuring just 14.5 diameter by 8.4mm height (excluding pins) Hugh Feldman, the company's Sales and Marketing Director says: "These are amongst the smallest such electrochemical devices to be made available to OEM Gas Detector manufacturers"

Burnley to ensure controlled growth
Arthur W Burnley has joined Alphasense as Sales and Marketing Director, to manage and implement comprehensive business strategies to ensure the controlled growth and development of Alphasense.
Whilst achieving these small mechanical dimensions, quality and performance have not been sacrificed.
Improvements in seal design further reduce the potential for electrolyte leakage, already a byword for Oxygen and Toxic gas sensors from Alphasense.
The 24 month performance warranty coupled with fast response, high output sensitivity, low zero current and good long term stability provides a superior alternative sensor to those already available on the world market.
The pin outs are compatible with widely available low cost connectors or may be directly socket mounted into printed circuit boards.
Initially available for the measurement of Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen Sulfide, these miniature sensors enable instrument designers to reduce overall product size.
They will allow manufacturers to meet the competitive market pressures that are developing for the next generation of both single and multi gas instruments.
They also allow more novel approaches to instrument design including incorporation within "wrist watch" types and cap lamp mounting for use in mining and construction industries.
"D Series" sensors complement existing "A" and "B" series ranges from Alphasense Ltd.
Each sensor is thoroughly tested on the company's ATAV.
Automated Test and Validation system (Patent Pending) and bar coded prior to shipment.
This provides full performance traceability for each sensor supplied, complying with the company's ISO9001 registration.
