PCB Piezotronics has announced the launch of the new Model 3743G differential variable capacitance triaxial accelerometer. The sensor is designed to meet the demanding requirements of the automotive and aerospace industries.
The 3743G features variable capacitance MEMS technology for stable and accurate measurement. With a wide input voltage range from 5 to 32V DCc, these sensors excel in applications requiring low-frequency and long-duration event measurement, thanks to their DC frequency response.
The 3743G combines differential output (common mode noise rejection) with a screw mount package for easier installation. If a bridge signal conditioner is unavailable, 3743G can be used in single-ended mode with any DC voltage supply, which will provide half of the sensitivity of differential mode.
The 3743G model incorporates precise measurement with good linearity and low temperature error; differential output, which provides common mode noise rejection; dual-mode operation, offering the flexibility of operating in both differential and single-ended modes; and rugged design, capable of withstanding shocks up to 5,000 g, ensuring durability in demanding applications.
The PCB model comes in two options: 3743G11 and 3743G12. The 3743G11 has an hermetic stainless-steel package with an integral M8x1 8-pin connector. The 3743G12 utilizes the same stainless-steel package with an IP67 connection to its integral cable.
