Review on πŸ”§ Akozon Pressure Transducer 0-5V Stainless Steel - Reliable and Accurate Sensing Solution by Eric Speers

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Worked for 2 weeks, then broke.

The sensor was working properly to monitor air pressure in the compressed air system but died unexpectedly after the batteries in the microcontroller system it was working with died over the weekend. When a voltage of 5V is applied, the signal line stays at about 4.5V regardless of the pressure. It is not clear whether the low supply voltage damaged the sensor (no data indicates this) or if the sensor is defective in some way was. I gave it a second star because at $7 it lasted long enough to be useful for the proof of concept and I think the connector that comes with it fits the Honeywell PX3AF1BH300PSAAX converter that will replace it.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No power
