PCM120 Sub-Miniature Pressure & Temperature Sensor

The PCM120 series pressure sensors allow a combined pressure and temperature measurements at a same location. Wetted parts being all titanium, they are compatible with all common and hostile pressure media used in aerospace and automotive. Miniature dimensions, low mass and rugged design make PCM120 series pressure sensors well adapted to embedded applications on vehicles, aircrafts, missiles, satellites, etc. The pressure transducer utilises EFE thin film technology and a platinum RTD senses media temperature. The pressure and temperature devices are designed to operate independently. Output for pressure is an amplified 0.5-4.5Vdc while temperature signal is directly the one from PT1000 sensor.

EFE has been developing and manufacturing a complete range of pressure sensors since 1973. They have designed their proprietary advanced sensing technologies and created a unique range of high performance and miniature pressure transducers.

With over 35 years of experience, EFE have developed a unique range of miniature and sub-miniature pressure transducers. This complete range includes:
– Low pressure (from 100 mbar), high pressure (up to 3000 bar) and negative/positive pressure ranges (from –1 bar).
– Unamplified sensors,
– Transducers with analogue or digital built-in electronics
– Standard or high accuracy with digitally corrected transducers offering ultimate total error band including all errors in the compensated temperature range (0.1% fs).
– Large temperature capability: from –60°C to 260°C for unamplified sensors and –55°C to +175°C for amplified transducers.
– High dynamic capability with semi-flush diaphragms
– High performance built-in electronics adapted to on-board applications (8-16V or 8-30V power supply), high bandwidth capability (up to 5 or 10 kHz), low noise, low consumption (<10 mA) and related protection.
– All stainless steel, titanium or inconel construction allowing compatibility with corrosive media
– Robust construction proven in the harshest environments

Applications where space is limited and weight critical : gear box & engine development, satellite, missile, aerospace, motorsport.
