SSI Technologies Enhances Pressure Sensor Offerings
Janesville, WI, August 2, 2002 – Several significant enhancements have been incorporated into SSI Technologies’ pressure sensor line.

Several significant enhancements have been incorporated into SSI Technologies’ pressure sensor line, according to Bill Day, Director of Marketing and Sales for Non-Automotive. The MediaSensor™ and MediaNugget™ sensor lines have each received two major
improvements – improved accuracy rating of 0.5% and expanded pressure ranges from 15 psi to 3,000 psi.

“Both of these improvements were the result of the customer expectations and the expertise of our manufacturing group,” states Day. “The improved accuracy rating is a direct result of improvements made in our internal manufacturing process. And, in the case of the expanded pressure ranges, we were able to significantly enhance the standard product line.”

SSI’s bulk micro-machined absolute and gage pressure sensors for both harsh and benign media represents a significant cost savings over currently available pressure sensors. These compact, robust sensors are well suited for a variety of automotive, industrial, and commercial applications. Special features include all-laser-welded stainless steel design for media isolation; custom ASIC provides signal conditioning for calibration and temperature compensation; standard and customer options available for OEM quantities; 5 Volt input with 0.5 – 4.5 Volt output; and 8 – 30 Volt input with 4 – 20 mA & 1 - 5 Volt output.

“An additional “unseen” benefit to the customer is that these improvements have not added to the cost of the product!” Day adds.

Customer sampling is currently underway with full production and shipping planned for September 1, 2002.
