A new range of micro pressure sensors has been specifically designed to detect very small changes in ambient pressure levels.
A new range of micro pressure sensors has been specifically designed to detect very small changes in ambient pressure levels.
Applications range from medical diagnostics, to white goods, HVAC systems and industrial control.
Designed for use in air and similar environments, Omron is offering the new D8M sensor with two output options.
The D8M-A1 is an analogue sensor, with a pressure range of 0-4.9kPa, and an output voltage of 0-1.25V DC.
The D8M-D1 has a range of 0-5.9kPa, and has a pulse count output with a frequency, depending on the version chosen, of 45-450kHz.
The D8M-A1 features a compact housing with dimensions, of 30 x 30 x 12.4mm, case size for the D1 varies depending on the type.
The sensors accept 4mm (D8M-A1) or 3mm (D8M-D1) outside diameter tubing, and have a chemical-resistant plastic (PBT) body.
Omron is optionally offering both sensors in prewired or PCB mounting form.
