The H₂-Low Pressure Sensor LPS is a specialized low-pressure sensor designed for use in hydrogen (H₂) applications, particularly fuel cell systems. It offers variants for pressure ranges up to 6 bar, making it suitable for both stationary and mobile applications. The sensor is built with hydrogen-compatible materials and features a MEMS-Si measuring element with an oil reservoir. It provides analog or digital (SENT) output signals and is available in several design variants. The sensor is burst-proof, has a long service life, and is compatible with hydrogen, air, nitrogen, and coolant media. Its operating principle involves measuring low pressures with high accuracy, ensuring reliable performance in extreme temperature ranges of -40°C to 120°C. The sensors design allows for optimal integration into systems, with a flange connector for direct contact and a 3-pin MLK electrical connection. The products key marketing punchline is its exceptional hydrogen compatibility and durability, making it an ideal choice for industrial and automobile applications in fuel cell systems.
