AMS 6916

AMS 6916 – Mini Pressure Sensor with Analog Output (0.5 – 4.5 V)

Data Sheet
Flyer

The precise, board-mountable pressure sensors from the AMS 6916 series have an amplified, ratiometric voltage output (0.5 … 4.5 V at VS = 5 V). The AMS 6916 are extensively calibrated, linearized and temperature compensated and feature an excellent long term stability, high precision at room temperature and a small total error band (TEB) in a temperature range of 0 bis 60 °C. Due to their compact DIL-package the sensors are especially suitable for applications, where an intensive miniaturization is and a direct integration on printed circuit boards is required. The pressure sensor series AMS 6916 comprises differential pressure sensors, relative pressure sensors and absolute pressure sensors with vertical and horizontal pressure ports in pressure ranges from 0 … 5 mbar up to 0 … 1 bar
