PPT0300GXX5VA

Pressure Sensors, Transducers

The PPT0300GXX5VA device can be classified as a type of pressure sensor or transducer. This type of device measures pressure and converts it to a suitable electrical signal that can be interpreted and processed by a variety of electronic instruments. Pressure sensors are an essential component to monitoring and controlling a wide variety of industrial and engineering processes and applications.

The PPT0300GXX5VA is a low-cost pressure transducer that is designed for integration into systems that measure, monitor, and control pressure in industrial and lab environments. It is a highly versatile device, able to measure both gauge pressure, the pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, and absolute pressure, the pressure relative to a perfect vacuum. The unit has a full scale range of 0-30 psi and is available with a variety of output options. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require pressure measurements with an accuracy of up to 0.75%.

Application Fields

The PPT0300GXX5VA pressure sensors are suitable for a wide range of applications including medical, automotive, gas and liquid flow, liquid level, and industrial process control. Medical applications include blood pressure and oxygen delivery, while automotive applications include engine monitoring, tire pressure, and air suspension. In industrial process control, these devices are suitable for controlling pressure in valves, fluid flows, and pressure/vacuum control systems.

Working Principle

The PPT0300GXX5VA pressure transducer is based on a silicone diaphragm and a strain gauge. The device has a diaphragm which acts as a flexible barrier between the internal pressure and the external environment. When the pressure is applied to the diaphragm, it bends and exerts a force on the strain gauge, which converts the mechanical displacement into an electrical signal. The signal is then amplified and processed by an integrated circuit (IC) and output to indicate the pressure.

The key advantage of this technology is its sensitive and accurate response to pressure changes. Furthermore, the device is highly durable and resistant to external vibrations and shock, making it suitable for long-term and reliable operation in industrial environments.
