Pressure Sensor 5PSI (34.47kPa) Differential Male - 0.19" (4.83mm) Tube, Dual 0 mV ~ 60 mV (12V) 6-SIP Module
Active

Overview

The 5 PSI-D-HGRADE-MV is a high-grade differential pressure sensor from Amphenol All Sensors featuring a calibrated millivolt output. It utilizes a silicon micro-machined sensing element in a Wheatstone bridge configuration to provide a linear output proportional to the pressure difference between its dual 0.19-inch ports. This component is temperature compensated and calibrated for high accuracy across a 0C to 70C range.

Why Choose This Part

This H-Grade sensor offers a superior 0.5 percent accuracy rating and includes internal temperature compensation, reducing the need for external calibration circuitry. The 6-SIP module package with dual barbless ports allows for straightforward through-hole PCB mounting and simple tubing connections.

Applications

HVAC Airflow Monitoring
Measuring pressure drops across filters or within ducts to ensure efficient ventilation and system performance.
Medical Ventilators
Providing precise differential pressure data for flow rate calculations in respiratory therapy equipment.
Industrial Process Control
Monitoring low-pressure pneumatic systems where high accuracy and long-term stability are required.
Leak Detection Systems
Detecting small pressure differentials in sealed enclosures to verify structural or seal integrity.

Getting Started

To use this sensor, provide a stable excitation voltage (typically 12VDC, up to 16VDC max) and interface the millivolt-level differential output to an instrumentation amplifier or a high-resolution ADC with a programmable gain amplifier (PGA). Ensure the tubing is securely attached to the 0.19-inch ports to avoid leaks that could degrade measurement precision.
