SCX Series

Pressure Ranges

• 1 psi to 150 psi

The SCX series sensors provide a very cost-effective solution for pressure applications that require operation over a wide temperature range. These internally calibrated and temperature compensated sensors were specifically designed to provide an accurate and stable output over a 0 °C to 70 °C [32 °F to 158 °F] temperature range. This series is intended for use with non-corrosive, non-ionic working fluids such as air and dry gases.

Devices are available to measure absolute, differential and gage pressures from 1 psi (SCX01) up to 150 psi (SCX150). The Absolute (A in model number) devices have an internal vacuum reference and an output voltage proportional to absolute pressure. The Differential (D in model number) devices allow application of pressure to either side of the pressure-sensing diaphragm and can be used for gage or differential measurements.

The SCX series devices feature an integrated circuit (IC) sensor element and laser trimmed thick film ceramic housed in a compact solvent resistant case. This package provides excellent corrosion resistance and provides isolation to external packaging stresses. The package has convenient mounting holes and pressure ports for ease of use with standard plastic tubing for pressure connection.

If the application requires extended temperature range operation, beyond 0 °C to 70 °C [32 °F to 158 °F], two pins which provide an output voltage proportional to temperature are available for use with external circuitry. The 100 µS response time makes this series an excellent choice for computer peripherals and pneumatic control applications. The output of the bridge is ratio metric to the supply voltage. Operation from any dc supply voltage up to 20 Vdc is acceptable.
