Product Introduction

Swiss Neroxis Thermal Conductivity Gas Sensor Miniature Pirani Vacuum Gauge Pressure TransducerMTCS2300 Description:

The MTCS2300 pressure transducer is a dedicated MEMS device that measures thermal conductivity based on the Pirani principle, available in compact TO8 or TO39 packages.

This sensor uses nickel-platinum resistance MEMS technology, integrating a large micromachined low-stress silicon nitride membrane, two thin-film heating resistors, and two compensation reference resistors on the bulk silicon into a miniature package.

This MEMS structure, combined with a simple CMOS standard integrated circuit for power and temperature analysis, is an ideal choice for size-critical vacuum OEM sensing solutions requiring ultra-low power consumption, excellent signal-to-noise ratio, and corrosion resistance to gases.
