Sensors

Delphi Medium Pressure Sensors provide precise measurements of manifold absolute pressure (MAP) and other high output gasoline and diesel engine performance characteristics, in operating pressure ranges from 20 kPa to 102 kPa (0.2 bar to 1.0 bar).

Delphi Medium Pressure Sensors are designed to perform in harsh environments such as extreme temperatures and vibration, thermal and mechanical shock, and chemical contamination. They provide voltage output proportional to the gauge pressure in medium pressure systems.

Benefits

• Electronic compensation for precise measurements in a variety of environments
• Reliable and robust:
• Low part count
• Automotive grade
• ISO/TS 16949 certified
• Mounting flexibility
• Designed for under-hood environment
• Appropriate for a wide-range automotive and non-automotive applications
  

Features

• Patented direct mount, eliminates need for bracket
• Temperature compensation
• Electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection
• Solid state microelectronic technology
• Available for turbo applications
• Combination pressure and temperature sensor (MAP/MAT) available:
• MAP sensor precision with reliable thermistor output
• Two-in-one yields cost reduction and space savings with one less component, wire and connector

Delphi offers a Medium Pressure Sensor that features bolt- or bracket-mounting capabilities.

Typical Applications

Delphi Medium Pressure Sensors can be used for manifold absolute pressure, barometric pressure, and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) pressure applications in gasoline and diesel engines. They can also be used in vehicle brake boost pressure measurement applications.

Delphi Medium Pressure Sensors can be used in other non-automotive applications requiring barometric pressure measurement.
