Range of sensors

4 April 2012 Test & Measurement

Electrocomp is supplying VTI’s range of sensors for diverse applications. Available sensors include accelerometers, inclinometers and gyroscopes.

VTI’s range of low-G acceleration sensors for automotive applications includes analog and digital accelerometers for safety critical automotive and industrial applications. The components are based on the company’s proprietary 3D MEMS technology and offer a number of product features for the most demanding applications.

The sensing element and the measuring ASIC are assembled in a dual-in-line or dual-in-flat-line plastic package with pins for surface mount and reflow soldering. They are environmentally protected with silicone gel, resulting in excellent performance and reliability in humid environments and at temperature cycling. In addition, the robust sensing element design with overdamped frequency response enables excellent performance even in harsh and vibrating environments.

Inclination sensors are an optimum choice for high-accuracy levelling and inclination measurement instruments. The highest accuracy is available with the SCA103T series which uses a differential measurement principle to compensate for all common-mode error and noise effects. With high shock durability, the inclinometers provide trouble-free measurements in moving machines, vehicles, aeroplanes, construction machines and handheld devices.

VTI develops and manufactures gyroscope components for both industrial and consumer electronics applications. Angular rate sensors are based on VTI’s proven 3D MEMS technology and highly integrated electronics.

The sensing elements and measuring circuitry are assembled into a pre-moulded plastic dual-in-line (DIL) package, protected with silicone gel and covered with a stainless steel lid. All products are RoHS compatible and suitable for lead-free reflow soldering. Consumer gyros are extremely small thanks to the wafer level package. The patented, simplified, low current consuming phase-shift readout electronics and wafer level quadrature signal design enable excellent stability in real-life environments.
