MTCS2601 Thermal - Conductivity Gas Sensor Suitable For Primary
Pressure Control In Harsh Environments
Principle:
The MTCS2601 gas sensor is based on the Pirani principle, which is
a physical principle without chemical reaction. It works based on
the change of gas thermal conductivity. The heat flow from the
heating resistor on the insulating dielectric film to the cold part
of the device depends on the gas conductivity. By measuring the
signal of the heating part and the "cold" part of the device at
room temperature, the gas concentration can be obtained.
Features:
- It is a thermal - conductivity sensor for primary vacuum
measurement.
- Housed in a SMD ceramic package, and can be provided in tape - and
- reel packaging.
- With small dimensions, it is suitable for measurement in very small
volumes, and the sensor gas volume is ultra - small, such as <
0.1 cm³.
- Low power consumption, with an operating power consumption of <
6 mW.
- Short time constants and ultra - fast response time, which is <
50 ms.
- It has an optimal sensitivity in the range of 10⁻² to 10² mbar, and
the range can be extended to 10⁻⁴ to 1 atm.
- The measurement range is from 10⁻⁴ to 1000 mbar, with excellent
reproducibility.
- It has temperature compensation, and the compensation and heating
resistors on the same silicon die are well - matched.
- Based on the physical resistive sensing principle, it has a stable
and long MTBF ( > 30,000 hours).
- It is compatible with a simple constant excess temperature
operation circuit.
- A gold - contact version is available upon request for corrosive
gas environments
Application:
- It is an excellent choice for size - critical leakage OEM detectors
or miniature vacuum gauges based on the Pirani principle, which
require ultra - low power consumption, long - term operation, and
no maintenance.
- Suitable for primary pressure control in harsh environments, as
well as the detection of gas leakage, moisture, or intrusion in
closed - volume systems. It can be easily installed in pressure
valves or directly in vacuum pipes or systems, such as small
mechanical pumping systems, vacuum pumps, and analytical
instruments. It can also be used for leakage detection to monitor
the integrity of closed - system or instruments under a specific
pressure, and can detect defects such as corrosion or box opening.
