Read this white paper from Honeywell to learn about the perils of using low-cost pressure sensors in your products.
Viewing the pressure sensors exhibited at any major electronics trade show quickly shows that many companies are willing to sell unmounted, unpackaged (bare) pressure sensor dies. Even companies selling packaged pressure sensors appear willing to sell their sense dies to anyone.
This willingness may be evidence of how little innovation some pressure sensor die manufacturers have designed into their dies. More likely, these same manufacturers are attempting to serve a portion of the industry that find building their own pressure sensing solution is more financially attractive versus building a finished sensor, preferring to buy a low-cost pressure sense die instead of a more costly packaged amplified pressure sensor.
Read this white paper from Honeywell to learn about the perils of using low-cost pressure sensors in your products, and, given the real costs and potential risks, why it is an increasingly easy decision to spend less overall by using an amplified pressure sensor such as Honeywell’s TruStability™ Board Mount Pressure Sensors and Amplified Basic Board Mount Pressure Sensors.
