Sensors
Broad portfolio of sensor technologies is designed for a wide range of applications and serves a number of industries. We collaborate with engineers to help transform their concepts into creations—redefining what’s possible using intelligent, efficient and high-performing TE products and solutions proven in harsh environments
Pressure Sensors
A pressure sensor is a device that senses pressure and converts it into an electric signal where the amount depends upon the pressure applied. TE Connectivity (TE) designs and manufactures pressure sensors ranging from the sensing element to system packaging for harsh environments. We are an industry leader for our range of both standard and custom pressure sensors, from board level components to fully amplified and packaged transducers.

M5800
TE’s M5800 digital display transducer offers visualized pressure value readings for demanding, harsh applications.
M5200
The M5200 pressure transducers from the Microfused line of MEAS, with their modular design, offer maximum flexibility for different configurations.
M7100
The M7100 pressure transducer sets a price performance standard for demanding engine and vehicle, and industrial applications. This transducer is suitable for measurement of liquid or gas pressure, even for difficult media such as contaminated water, steam, and corrosive fluids.
MS5803
The MS5803-01BA can be interfaced to virtually any microcontroller. The communication protocol is simple, without the need of programming internal registers in the device.
Temperature Sensors
A temperature sensor is a device that detects and measures hotness and coolness and converts it into an electrical signal. At TE Connectivity (TE), we design and manufacture a broad portfolio of temperature sensors – including our NTC thermistors, RTDs, thermocouples, and thermopiles – designed for efficiency and easy installation, with capacity to reliably integrate technology that responds to human behavior.

PTF Series
The PTF-sensor family combines a group of resistance temperature detectors (RTD) using a Platinum resistor in thin film technology as a sensing element.
NTC Thermistors
NTC thermistors are soldered to 38 AWG Solid Nickel Bifilar with Polyester Type Insulation. Unit is potted in a polyimide tube with thermally conductive epoxy.
Nickel RTD Sensors
The Ni1000SOT is a nickel thin film resistance temperature detector (RTD) that is suitable for use in contact temperature sensing.
Humidity Sensors
A humidity sensor is a device that detects and measures water vapor. TE Connectivity (TE) manufactures a complete range of calibrated and amplified sensor products that measure relative humidity (RH). Based on our robust capacitive technology, these humidity sensors provide accurate measurement of dew point and absolute humidity by combining relative humidity (RH) and temperature (T) measurements.

HTU21
Embedded in a reflow solderable Dual Flat No leads (DFN) package of 3 x 3 mm foot print and 1 mm height, it provides calibrated, linearized signals in digital, I²C format. HTU21D sensors are dedicated humidity and temperature plug-and-play transducers for OEM applications where reliable and accurate measurements are needed.
Position Sensors
A position sensor is a device that can detect the movement of an object and converts it into signals suitable for processing, transmission, or control. TE Connectivity (TE) is a leading manufacturer of industrial linear and angular position, tilt and fluid level sensors. Both off-the-shelf and custom position sensing solutions are available featuring our core technologies, including inductive, potentiometric, magnetoresistive, hall effect, reed switch, electrolytic, and capacitive sensing.

String Pots
This compact string pot with “voltage divider” output, provides ease-of-use and flexibility for measurement ranges up to 50 inches. Made of rugged polycarbonate, the SP1 fits in small spaces, does not need perfect alignment and ships with a stainless-steel mounting bracket to let the user easily orient this sensor in just about any direction imaginable.
