Dytran Instruments have just released a new ultra-miniature accelerometer which weighs just 0.2 grams. This sensor is ideally suited in applications where the additional mass of
the monitoring device could effect the test conditions. Even though the 3224A2 sensor is tiny, it has a robust construction with a welded titanium housing which is hermetically sealed. The sensor is ideal for tests involving environmental stress screening, printed circuit board vibration measurements, mechanical shock applications and general-purpose vibration monitoring where space is at a premium. The device has
integral electronic circuitry providing a sensitivity of 2mV/g and can operate
at temperatures from -51°C to 148°C. It is designed for adhesive mounting and offers a frequency response up to 10kHz.
