APPLICATION GUIDE // AUTOMOTIVE & MOBILITY

Pressure Sensors for Automotive Applications

Common rail test benches, mobile hydraulic excavators, braking loops & EGR systems

THE OPERATING CHALLENGE

Why Standard Catalog Sensors Often Fail in this Application

Harsh under-the-hood and chassis environments with high thermal swings, corrosive road spray, electromagnetic transients, and 5V DC low-power ECU electronics.

PROCESS PARAMETER PROFILEENGINEERING BASELINE
Typical Working Range:0–10 bar to 0–600 bar
Process Media:Diesel fuel, engine oil, brake fluid, hydraulic fluid
Fluid & Ambient Temp:-40°C to +125°C (Optional +150°C)
Primary Failure Risk:Automotive electrical line load dump surges and extreme vibration
ENGINEERING SELECTION CHECKLIST

What to Specify When Ordering for this Process

  • Ratiometric 0.5–4.5 VDC output for direct 5V automotive ECU ADC interfaces
  • Automotive Packard / Delphi or AMP Superseal IP67 electrical connectors
  • Immunity against ISO 7637-2 electrical disturbance transients
  • Compact hex body for tight chassis envelopes
ACT FIELD INSTALLATION ADVICE

For test bench and dynamometer applications, verify that sampling rates align with ECU acquisition speed (ACT sensors feature <1.5 ms step response).
