Microfused Silicon Strain Gage (MSG), Hermetic Pressure Sensing


Sensing technology is silicon MEMs strain gauge elements glass–bonded to a stainless steel diaphragm
Inherent hermetic structure
Permanent calibration after assembly
Temperature compensated
Adaptable to pressure ranges up to 30,000psi
Accurate, stable signal over a wide operating temperature range (-40 to +140°C)
Media–compatible
Temperature output can be added
Extensive self–diagnostics


Sensata’s strain gauge transducer provides a linear voltage output directly proportional to applied pressure. Integral signal conditioning electronics incorporating a custom designed integrated circuit provide an accurate, stable signal over a wide operating temperature range (-40 to +140°C), as well as temperature compensation.

The sensor design is inherently hermetic, making it compatible with almost any media.

Typical Applications

Brake pressure
Vehicle stability systems
Diesel common rail
GDI fuel pressure
