The Merit Sensor RPD Series uncompensated packaged sensor is meant for the application of a broad range of pressures to the sensing element’s backside. The RPD is a flexible platform with exceptional media compatibility. Its small, compact design is perfectly suited for industrial and medical applications.
Company: MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensors are designed and fabricated at Merit Sensor’s Utah, USA engineering and fabrication facility. Merit Sensor focuses on the customization of technically better pressure sensors to solve customers’ pressure sensing requirements for the automotive, industrial, medical, and aerospace industries.
Technology: Merit Sensor utilizes a piezoresistive Wheatstone bridge with a chemically etched silicon diaphragm. The company’s products are all RoHS compliant.
Capabilities: Merit Sensor designs, engineers, fabricates, dices, assembles, and tests their products from a modern facility near Salt Lake City, Utah.
