New Miniature ICP® Shock Accelerometers

Small size with flexible, integral cable

December 10, 2017 Depew, NY – PCB® has released two new miniature piezoelectric accelerometers. They are small, single axis ICP® voltage output with measurement ranges of +/- 5,000 g (model 352A91) and +/- 20,000 g (model 352A92). Both are in a similar package with low mass under 0.006 ounces (0.17 grams) and cover a broad frequency range of 1.2 to 10,000 Hz at +/- 5%. The accelerometer development concentrated on survivability under test in harsh environments. The epoxy sealed titanium housing and flexible cable design enable the sensor to survive high overload shock (+/- 20,000 g peak) under thermal load up to +325°F (163°C). These features make them ideal for small component testing, environmental stress screening, and impact testing of electronic board assemblies.

Built-in ICP® microelectronics provide a low noise, low impedance output signal for low transmission loss over long distances. PCB® offers multiple signal conditioners to power these accelerometers but any ICP®, current limiting signal conditioner or data acquisition system may be used.

Models 352A91 and 352A92 are available for immediate shipment. For additional information, visit https://www.pcb.com/352A9x.
