High-Pressure Sensors for Vehicles

This document provides information on a high-pressure sensor that measures up to 150 MPa. It is used in vehicles to measure brake system or fuel rail pressure. It uses polysilicon strain gauge elements in a Wheatstone bridge configuration for signal output. The sensor has self-monitoring of offset and sensitivity and is resistant to automotive fluids. Storage conditions and technical specifications are provided, along with a characteristic curve and measurement circuit diagram.

High-pressure sensors
Measurement up to 150 MPa
Ratiometric signal evaluation
(relative to supply voltage)
Self-monitoring offset and
sensitivity.
Excellent media resistance as the
medium only comes into contact
with stainless steel.
Resistant to brake fluids, mineral
oils, fuel, water and air.
Protection against reverse polarity,
overvoltage and short circuit at the
output to the supply voltage or
ground.

Application
Pressure sensors of this type are used in
motor vehicles to measure the pressure
in a braking system or in the fuel rail of
engines with direct gasoline injection or
the diesel common rail system.

Design and operation


Polysilicon thin-film metal strain gauge
elements are used. These are connected
to form a Wheatstone bridge. This
permits good signal utilization and
temperature compensation. Only for 0
265 005 303
The following additional diagnostic
function distinguishes this sensor from
conventional sensors:
Comparison of two signal paths in the
sensor enables
Offset error
Amplification error
to be detected.

Storage conditions
Temperature range: -30...+60 C
Rel. humidity: 0...80 % rF
Maximum storage time: 5 years
The specified storage conditions do not
cause any change in function.
The sensors are no longer to be used
once the maximum storage time has
expired.
