M5154-000004-2K5PG

Pressure Sensors, Transducers

The M5154-000004-2K5PG is a pressure transducer, a type of pressure sensor. It is commonly used in the medical, industrial and automotive industries to monitor fuel and hydraulic pressures, among other applications. It is part of a larger class of transducers which take a physical parameter, such as pressure or temperature, and transform it into an electrical signal.

The M5154-000004-2K5PG is an amplified piezoresistive transducer. It has an internal Wheatstone bridge embedded on the pressure sensing element, which is connected to an amplifier that modulates the transducer’s output voltage. This amplified output voltage is then converted to calibrated pressure units, such as psi (pounds per square inch).

The Wheatstone bridge is a square network of four resistors, arranged in the shape of a square. When the resistors are unbalanced, the output voltage of the bridge changes, indicating that the pressure applied to the bridge has been changed. As more or less pressure is applied to the bridge, the output voltage of the bridge changes accordingly.

The M5154-000004-2K5PG has a wide pressure range of 0 to 5,000 psi, allowing it to be used in most applications. It also has the ability to function in temperatures as low as -40°C to +85°C. Because it is immune to shock and vibration, it can be used in environments which have high levels of vibration or rapid changes in pressure.

The M5154-000004-2K5PG is also available with an optional ratiometric output. This output allows the user to compare changes in pressure to a reference pressure, allowing for more accurate readings. The ratiometric option is also useful in applications where temperature can cause significant changes in the output voltage.

The M5154-000004-2K5PG has a variety of options including a variety of electrical connectors, diaphragm materials, case materials, and process connections for different applications. All of these options are designed to suit the specific needs of each application.

Because of its wide range of features, the M5154-000004-2K5PG is a popular choice for applications where accurate pressure readings are required. It is ideal for a variety of industries including medical, automotive, industrial, and many others.
