Barometric Pressure Sensor Ideal for Harsh On/Off-Highway Vehicle Applications



Moorpark, CA --- Kavlico's low cost, OEM P4050 barometric pressure sensor has been designed to withstand hostile, high vibration, and broad temperature range environments found in on/off-highway vehicle engine and powertrain applications. The sensor has a pressure range of 5.8 PSIA to 15.95 PSIA and operates on a 5Vdc power supply providing a 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc output.

Designed for high volume applications, the piezoresistive (PRT) sensing technology is extremely repeatable, stable, and accurate. The lightweight, yet rugged composite housing design can withstand operating temperatures of -40°C to +125°C, as well as operate in high shock and electromagnetic noise environments. The sensor can withstand submergence in water and is salt-spray tolerant due to a hydrophobic filter barrier making it well-suited for marine environments.

The sensor itself provides versatility when it comes to installation, as it is mounted to the vehicle integrally with the wiring harness or, it may be connected by a user-supplied bracket assembly.

Typical applications include:
- On/Off-highway vehicle management systems
- Air fuel mixture compensation
- Weather stations
- Aircraft cabin pressure
- Altitude compensation
- Any application requiring the measurement of atmospheric pressure

Kavlico sensors are presently used in on/off-highway, automotive, aircraft, construction equipment, power generation, and general industrial market sector applications.
