Fully Compensated Harsh Media Pressure Sensor

Merit Sensor TRVF Series

  • Fully compensated pressure sensor.
  • Wetted materials including silicon, glass, and ceramic enhances compatibility with harsh media.
  • Compact and lightweight, weighing approximately 1.35 grams.
  • Designed to measure pressure in air, gases, and liquids.
  • Pressure Range available from 1 to 300 psi (absolute or gauge).
  • Operating temperature range between -40ยฐC to 150ยฐC.

The TRVF Series is a fully compensated harsh-media, digital I2C and analog output, pressure-sensor package. It is designed to handle todayโ€™s toughest pressure-sensing environments with a temperature range of -40ยฐC and 150ยฐC. The unique pressure port isolates onboard electronics, the three wetted materials (silicon, glass, and ceramic) enable the TRVF Series to withstand a variety of harsh media.
The TRVF design isolates the the FR-4 high TG substrate mechanical stress from the MEMs die avoiding possible offset shifts caused during the manufacturing process. The spring contacts make the customersโ€™ assembly process easier and faster.

  • Pressure Range: 1 to 300 psi / 0.07 to 20.7bar / 7 to 2067 kPa
  • Temperature Range: -40ยฐC to 150ยฐC
  • Pressure Type: Absolute or gauge
  • Electrical Connection: Spring Contacts
  • Output: Digital I2C and Analog Ratiometric (0.5V โ€“ 4.5V)
  • Electrical Protection: output short circuit and supply high voltage / reverse polarity up to 40V
  • Accuracy: ยฑ2.5% full scale, with high-accuracy versions offering ยฑ1.0% full scale, catering to precision-sensitive applications.

Typical applications for the Merit SensorTM TRVFย series include:

  • Industrial: Pneumatic systems, water levels, water pressure, air-conditioning and other refrigerant systems.
  • Automotive: Pressure of transmission fluid, fuel systems, oil systems, etc.
  • Medical: Equipment for diagnosis and analysis.
