GENERAL 

MPT50
THREADED MOUNT PRESSURE TRANSDUCER

Micron's Model MPT50 is a threaded mount, miniature, low cost, general use pressure/temperature transducer. This transducer is made of corrosive resistant titanium (6AL4V). It utilizes high reliability bulk type semiconductor strain gages and temperature sensors bonded directly to the inside surface of the machined diaphragm.

Pressure on the diaphragm is applied through the hole in the 10-32 threaded nose which is then converted to an electric signal proportional to the pressure.

Titanium hermetic headers permit offering the MPT50 with absolute or seal reference options. The hermetic header is located just behind the strain gage diaphragm section of the sensor. Sealing the sensitive gages to an inert environment dramatically increases stability and reliability.
