Description

The MPX2053 series devices are silicon piezoresistive pressure sensors that provide a highly accurate and linear voltage output directly proportional to the applied pressure. The sensor is a single monolithic silicon diaphragm with the strain gauge and a thin-film resistor network integrated on-chip. The chip is laser trimmed for precise span and offset calibration and temperature compensation.

FAQ

What are the different types of board level pressure sensors?

The board level pressure sensors include gage, absolute, differential, and compound pressure types (ranging from 0-2 to 30 inches of water and 0-1 to 500 psi).

Where should a pressure sensor be placed?

As a general rule, pressure sensors should always be placed away from any turbulent air. Placement near windows or doors, and supply or exhaust vents should always be avoided.

What is the difference between a pressure switch and a pressure sensor?

Pressure switches are used in systems to ensure the safety of the machine and its operators while sensors simply relay a pressure readout to a remote location.
