TE 64B Crash Test Accelerometer
The TE Connectivity model 64B is an exceptional piezoresistive MEMS accelerometer designed for both crush zone and anthropomorphic dummy instrumentation. The accelerometer features a full bridge output configuration with ideal gas damping tailored for outstanding shock survivability and a flat frequency response to >8kHz.
The model 64B accelerometer has a standard cross-talk accuracy of <3% (with option for <1%), a standard ZMO of <±25mV and a linearity accuracy specification of <±1.0%.
The model 64B crash test accelerometer is offered in ranges from ±50 to ±6000g and has a standard operating temperature range of -40°C to +121°C. The sensor is fully encapsulated in Stycast for IP66 environmental protection rating. The nominal 4000Ω bridge impedance limits current draw resulting in quick warm-up time and minimal drift, unlike lower impedance designs on the market which are subject to much longer warm-up time due to gage heating effects.
