SENSOR SOLUTIONS /// MS4515

The MS4515 is a small, ceramic based, PCB mountedpressure transducer from TE Connectivity. The transducer is built
using the latest CMOS sensor conditioning circuitry to create a low
cost, high performance transducer designed to meet the strictest
requirements from OEM customers.
The MS4515 is fully calibrated and temperature compensated witha total error band (TEB) of less than 1.0% over the compensatedrange. The sensor operates from single supply of either 3.3 or
5.0VDC and requires a single external component for properoperation.
The rugged ceramic transducer is available in side port, top port,and manifold mount versions and can measure gage or differential
pressure from 2 to 30 inches H2O. The 1/8” barbed pressure ports
mate securely with 3/32” ID tubing.

Notes
1. Proper operation requires an external capacitor placed as shown in Connection Diagram. Output is ratiometric to supply voltage
variations of less than 10%.
2. Accuracy: The maximum deviation from a best fit straight line (BFSL) fitted to the output measured over the pressure range at 25°C.
Includes all errors due to pressure non linearity, hysteresis, and non-repeatability.
3. Total error band includes all accuracy errors, thermal errors over the compensated temperature range, and span and offset calibration
tolerances. For ideal sensor output with respect to input pressure, reference Pressure Transfer Function charts below. TEB values arevalid only at the calibrated supply voltage.
4. For errors beyond the compensated temperature range, see Extended Temperature Multiplier chart below.
5. This product can be configured for custom OEM requirements, contact factory for lower power consumption or higher accuracy.
