The ABP2 Series are piezoresistive silicon pressure sensors offering a digital output for reading pressure over the specified full-scale pressure span and temperature range. They are calibrated and temperature compensated for sensor offset, sensitivity, temperature effects, and accuracy errors (which include nonlinearity, repeatability, and hysteresis) using an onboard Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). Calibrated output values for pressure and temperature are updated at approximately 200 Hz. All products are designed and manufactured according to ISO 9001 standards. The liquid media option includes an additional silicone-based gel coating to protect the electronics under port P1, which enables use with noncorrosive liquids (e.g. water and saline) and in applications where condensation can occur. The ABP2 Series is available in tube packaging. Pocket tape and reel packaging are available upon request.

The OPB350 series liquid sensor is designed to work with 1/16” [1.6mm] 1/8” [3.2mm], 3/16” [4.8 mm], and 1/4” [6.3 mm] outside diameter clear tubes. When output reference circuitry is added, multiple output states such as “fluid present,” “no fluid present,” and “no tube present” can be recognized.
Clear liquid present causes the phototransistor to sink the maximum current, while dark liquid present causes it to sink the minimum current. As bubbles pass through the tube, the signal will vary between the “liquid present” and “no liquid” states. If no tube is present, the phototransistor sinks current between the dark fluid and clear fluid states. The customer will have to identify the typical current values for each situation. The ratio between the different states allows acknowledgment of different conditions.
Features
- Can identify if the liquid is present in clear tubes that have an outside diameter of 1/16” [1.6mm], 1/8″ [3.2mm], 3/16″ [4.8 mm], or 1/4″ [6.3 mm]
- Opaque plastic housing enhances ambient light rejection
- Printed circuit board mounting or 24” (610 mm) 26 AWG wires
Applications
- Noncontact fluid sensing
- IV fluid
- Oils and other petroleum products
- Colored fluids
- Toner fluids
- Water
