Model P265 Pressure Transducer with Advanced Electronics Provides Enhanced Performance



MOORPARK, Calif. o Kavlico Corporation, a Solectron company, today announced the availability of their new P265 pressure transducer with a rugged 303 stainless steel housing. The sensor is an upgraded version of the company's field-proven P165, and incorporates a mixed-signal CMOS ASIC, enhancing the sensors' accuracy and EMI/RFI protection. The robust design utilizes a ceramic diaphragm assembly that can withstand exposure to a wide array of compatible liquid and gaseous media.

Specifically designed for pressure measurements of 0-15 to 0-1000 PSI, the P265 is excited by 5 Vdc and 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 excellent shock and vibration tolerance of the P265 makes it an ideal fit for applications such as steam sterilizers, natural gas pressure, CNG and propane engines, marine environments, agricultural chemical equipment, refrigeration and HVAC systems, hydraulic systems, diesel and gasoline engines, coolant pressures, industrial compressors, and a variety of other demanding industrial applications.

The model P265 Pressure Transducer is available in many off-the-shelf configurations or can be custom designed to fit specific OEM application parameters.
