MODEL 4602 ACCELEROMETERSPECIFICATIONSDIMENSIONSAdvanced Temp Compensation
Gas Damped, DC Response
Amplified, Signal Conditioned
MEMS Accelerometer

The Model 4602 is designed for both static anddynamic measurements in critical and demanding
applications. The accelerometers are available in ranges
from ±2 to ±200g and offers outstanding thermalperformance. The model 4602 is temperaturecompensated from -55°C to +125°C. The accelerometers
incorporate a gas damped MEMS sensing element withintegral over-range stops for high-g shock protection.
