Kavlico, a unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies (Moorpark, CA) has introduced the P6060 pressure sensors for air pressure measurements in oxygen concentrators, respirators, and ventilators. The lightweight sensors have a piezoresistive sense element in a low-profile surface-mount package. The sensors measure 21.29 × 16.71 mm. Using a 5V input, they provide 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc linear analog amplified output proportional to pressure. Users can specify a digital output that conforms to SPI protocol.

Internal temperature compensation using an ASIC ensures ±1% of span total error band over 0 to 60ºC. Available pressure ranges include 13” H2O and 0-1 through 0-75 PSIA, PSIG, and PSID. The sensors are EMI/RFI and ESD protected, and can be configured with custom pressure ranges and port connections based on end-user requirements.
