The SX Series of pressure sensors provide the lowest cost

components for measuring pressures up to 150 psi.
These sensors were specifically designed for use with EQUIVALENT
non-corrosive, non-ionic media, such as air, dry gases, CIRCUITS
and the like. Convenient pressure ranges are available to
measure differential, gauge, and absolute pressures from Vs
3
0 to 1 psi (SX01) up to 0 to 150 psi (SX150).
The Absolute (A) devices have an internal vacuum
2
reference and an output voltage proportional to absolute +
pressure. The Differential (D) devices allow application OUTPUT
of pressure to either side of the diaphragm and can be 4
-
used for gauge or differential pressure measurements. 1

This product is packaged either in SenSym ICT’s standard BUTTON, NIPPLE AND "N" PACKAGE
low cost chip carrier “button” package, a plastic ported
“N” package, or a metal TO5 Package with or without gel. Vs
1 2
All packages are designed for applications where the
sensing element is to be integral to the OEM equipment.
These packages can be o-ring sealed, epoxied, and/or 6
-
clamped onto a pressure fitting. A closed-bridge four- OUTPUT
pin SIP configuration is provided for electrical connection 8
+
to the “Button” or “N” Package. The TO5 Package offers
7
a 5-pin open-bridge configuration. A DIP Package is also GND
available, which mounts on a PC board like a standard IC TO AND DIP PACKAGE
with through-hole pins. This extremely small size
package enables the use of multiple sensors in a limited
available space application.
Because of its high-impedance bridge, the SX Series is
ideal for portable and low power or battery operated
systems. Due to its low noise, the SX is an excellent
choice for medical and other low pressure applications.
