High-performance pressure sensors for the most demanding applications

Mouser has announced a new global distribution agreement with Merit Sensor Systems, a leading designer, developer and manufacturer of pressure-sensing solutions. The agreement adds Merit's microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) pressure sensors to Mouser's growing lineup of inertial and environmental MEMS sensors. The pressure sensors incorporate proprietary Sentium technology to provide the high operating temperature range and stability required for medical, aerospace, and industrial applications. The product line includes the LP Series pressure sensors for ultra-low-sensing applications, surface-mount MS Series for low- to medium-pressure applications, and TR Series pressure transducers and MeriTREK evaluation kits for high-volume applications in harsh environments. Sensors in the LP Series are available in uncompensated, compensated analog, and compensated digital output models, and feature 0.15 differential or gauge psi (psid or psig) across an operating temperature range of -40C to +85C. MS Series sensors are uncompensated surface-mount pressure monitoring devices available with ceramic cap or chimney housing and optional gel cover. The sensors offer 15 to 500 psia and 5 to 100 psig over an operating temperature range of -40C to +85C. The TR Series pressure transducers are fully compensated, amplified output pressure sensor packages designed for air, liquid, and gas harsh media compatibility over a broad temperature range (-40C to +150C). Available in both gauge and absolute pressure reference designs, TR Series transducers require no external components for proper operation in a variety of industrial, automotive, and medical applications. Mouser is also stocking the MeriTREK evaluation kit, which provides a testing platform for the included 100 psia TR Series transducer.
