Meggitt Sensing Systems has launched the Endevco model 72 series, a new family of high-g SMT-mountable piezoresistive accelerometers designed to support a variety of acceleration, vibration and shock measurements.
Available with a 20,000 g measurement range and a soon-to-be-released 60,000 g version, the Endevco model 72 series offers broad frequency response, minimum zero shift post-shock event and a Class 3 Rating for electrostatic discharge protection. Its LCC package weighs 0.16 grams. The LCC package can be SMT mounted using production pick-and-place machines and reflow solder.
The four-active arm bridge circuit design of the Endevco model 72 series incorporates a MEMS sensing element with light gas damping to attenuate resonance. Mechanical stops are included to increase ruggedness and reduce the likelihood of breakage under overload conditions. With a frequency response extending down to dc (steady state acceleration) and a minimum post shock zero shift, this accelerometer is suited for measuring long duration shocks associated with a variety of automotive, aerospace and general test and measurement applications.
