SDP-CC160 Temperature-Compensated Ceramic Pressure Cell
The SDP-CC160 is a compact, flat-diaphragm ceramic pressure cell designed for OEM pressure sensors and transmitters. Its alumina ceramic substrate features a screen-printed, high-temperature-fired sensing bridge, with laser-trimmed zero and full-scale output for consistent performance.
Integrated temperature compensation reduces thermal zero drift from −20 to +85°C. With an 18 mm diameter, gauge and absolute pressure options, and nominal ranges from 5 to 100 bar, the SDP-CC160 offers flexible integration for measuring air, water, oil and compatible refrigerants.
Features
• Durable Ceramic Diaphragm — Corrosion- and wear-resistant alumina ceramic for compatible media.
• Temperature-Compensated Performance — Laser-trimmed bridge with reduced thermal zero drift.
• Compact OEM Integration — Ø18 mm format with millivolt output for integration with signal-conditioning electronics.
Product Overview
The SDP-CC160 is a flat-diaphragm ceramic pressure cell with an integrated sensing bridge and temperature compensation, designed for OEM pressure sensors and transmitters.
The alumina ceramic substrate is screen printed, fired at high temperature and laser trimmed to adjust zero and full-scale output. The compensated bridge reduces thermal zero drift over −20 to +85 °C.
Available in gauge and absolute pressure versions, the compact Ø18 mm cell supports pressure measurement of air, water, oil, refrigerants and other compatible media. Nominal full-scale ratings range from 5 to 100 bar.
