SDP-PC8 Compact Ø15 mm High-Pressure Piezoresistive Silicon Pressure Sensor Core
The SDP-PC8 is a compact piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor core designed for OEM pressure sensors and transmitters, with full-scale ranges up to 60 MPa. Its Ø15 × 13 mm package combines a 316L stainless-steel diaphragm and housing with silicone oil-filled construction for integration into space-constrained equipment.
Temperature compensation, millivolt output and constant-current or constant-voltage excitation options support flexible signal-conditioning designs. Pin or wire connections provide additional integration options for industrial pressure measurement using media compatible with 316L stainless steel and the seal material.
