Model P255 Pressure Transducer with Advanced Electronics Provides Enhanced Performance



MOORPARK, Calif. Kavlico Corporation, a Solectron company, today announced the availability of their new P255 pressure transducer with 316 stainless steel housing. This is an
upgraded version of their field-proven ceramic capacitive P155 sensor. Specifically designed for pressure measurements of 0-15 to 0-1000 PSI, this robust sensor has a ceramic diaphragm that can withstand exposure to a wide array of compatible liquid and gaseous media. The Mixed-Signal CMOS ASIC provides for improved EMI/RFI and accuracy specifications.

Excited by 5 Vdc, the P255 provides a linear amplified output of 0.5 through 4.5 Vdc that is proportional to pressure. The sensor has low power consumption, superior long-term stability and excellent repeatability and hysteresis. Other features include over-voltage, reverse polarity, and short circuit protection.

The sensor has excellent shock and vibration tolerance making it an ideal fit for marine, agriculture chemical equipment, HVAC, hydraulic systems, gas tank pressure monitoring, level measurement, coolant pressures, aggressive fluid measurement, and a myriad of other industrial applications.

The model P255 Pressure Transducer is available in many standard configurations or can be custom designed to fit your specific OEM application.
