DESCRIPTION
The 86A is a small profile, media compatible, piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor packaged in a 316L
stainless steel housing. The 86A is designed for o-ring mounting. The sensing package utilizes silicone oil to
transfer pressure from the 316L stainless steel diaphragm to the sensing element.
The 86A is designed for high performance, low pressure applications. A custom ASIC is used for temperature
compensation, offset correction, and provides an amplified output of 0.5 to 4.5V.
For a similar sensor with a plastic threaded fitting, refer to the LM pressure transducer.
