First Sensor recommends a PCB layout with a minimum of 1.5 mm clearance around the sensor and a land pattern with a 1.1 mm diameter pad for the pressure port. A detailed layout recommendation can be found in the First Sensor application note AN-PC10-2-TO5-Layout.
Calibration of the PC10-2-TO5 requires a pressure source and a multimeter. Apply a series of known pressures to the sensor and measure the corresponding output voltages. Create a calibration curve by plotting the output voltage vs. pressure. Use this curve to convert the sensor's output voltage to pressure in your application.
The PC10-2-TO5 has a maximum pressure rating of 10 bar (145 psi) for the standard version. However, custom versions with higher pressure ratings are available upon request. Consult with First Sensor for specific requirements.
The PC10-2-TO5 has a temperature range of -20°C to 85°C. Temperature changes can affect the sensor's accuracy, with a typical temperature coefficient of ±0.1 %/K. For high-accuracy applications, temperature compensation may be necessary.
The PC10-2-TO5 is designed for dry environments. Exposure to high humidity or water can affect the sensor's performance and longevity. If your application requires operation in humid or wet conditions, consider using a custom version with enhanced environmental protection or consult with First Sensor for guidance.
