XZ204685HSC

Pressure transducers measure and convert pressure to an electrical signal that can be read and interpreted by instrumentation. The XZ204685HSC is a pressure transducer that is used in many different applications and has a unique working principle.

Overview

The XZ204685HSC is a rugged, fully welded, and insensitive to environmental disturbances due to its hermetic seal. It operates on Wheatstone bridge principle, making it highly accurate and reliable. It provides digital output signal in either frequency or current. This pressure transducer is suitable for a variety of applications such as industrial, automotive, marine, medical, off-shore, automotive, brown goods, hydraulic, and other pressure-related applications.

Electrical Connections

The XZ204685HSC pressure transducer has a 5-pin connector, which is made up of 3 electrical connections (V+, GND, and VOUT) and 2 grounding connections (S + and S-). The V+ power connection delivers the excitation source, the GND acts as a reference, and the VOUT is the output signal of the unit.

Applications

The XZ204685HSC pressure transducer is suitable for a wide range of applications, including oil pressure sensing in hydraulic systems, fuel pressure sensing, water pressure sensing, fluid pressure sensing in industrial plants, and air pressure sensing in automated climate control systems. It is also used in medical applications such as identifying fluid overload and measuring intraocular pressure. The transducer can also be used in marine and environmental applications, including measuring the pressure of a liquid in water and chemical storage tanks.

Working Principle

The XZ204685HSC is based on the Wheatstone bridge principle. The Wheatstone bridge consists of four arms that form a loop. One arm is the fixed resistance arm, one is the variable resistance arm, one is the source voltage arm, and the last is the output voltage arm. As the pressure is applied on the diaphragm in the transducer, it causes a change in electrical resistance in the variable arm. This imbalance in electrical resistance causes a change in the current that flows through the bridge, and this change in current is measured and read in the output voltage arm. This allows the transducer to accurately convert the pressure forces to an electrical signal that can be interpreted by the instrumentation.

Conclusion

The XZ204685HSC is a pressure transducer that utilizes the Wheatstone bridge principle and provides a reliable and accurate measurement of pressure in a variety of applications. Its hermetically sealed construction allows it to be durable and insensitive to environmental disturbances. With three electrical connections (V+, GND, and VOUT) and two grounding connections (S + and S-), it is easy to integrate the XZ204685HSC into virtually any system. This transducer is suitable for oil pressure sensing in hydraulic systems, fuel pressure sensing, water pressure sensing, fluid pressure sensing, medical applications, marine and environmental applications, and other pressure-related applications.
