VDO Sensorer og kontakter

For measuring gas or fluid pressure in connection with an electrical display unit / ECU.  
Monitoring of pressure conditions in automotive engine oil via switch (NO or NC). Many of warning contacts with different thread sizes.

Aktive tryksensorer

The pressure sensor converts on the basis of the piezoresistive effect principle a system pressure in a pressure-proportional electrical output signal 0V - 5V.
The sensor has a high resistance to aggressive media, e.g. to oil, brake fluid, diesel, gasoline, coolant, and more and is particularly suitable for use in automotive, hydraulic applications and more.
The sensor installation is achieved through screw fitting and electrical connection to the vehicle is carried by cable and connector.

Passive trykkontakter

Pressure measurement of media oil and air.
The VDO pressure sensor is based on electromechanical principle.
The position of the wiper on a resistance wire coil directly depends on
the applied pressure and leads to a corresponding electrical output signal 10 Ohm - 184 Ohm.       
      
Some senders are earthed. Other senders are not earthed, e.g. earth is supplied by a separate connection. Pressure senders can be fitted with an additional warning contact in order to indicate when the pressure limit has been reached, as well as carrying out continuous measurement.

The pressure sensor types in the product range include:

  • Without Warning Contact, Common Ground
  • With Warning Contact, Common Ground
  • Without Warning Contact, Insulated Return
  • With Warning Contact, Insulated Return
