Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, recently added another how-to video to its series on selecting the best electronic components for various applications. "How to Select the Right Pressure Sensor for Your Application" is now available, along with many more helpful tutorials offered through the company's YouTube channel.

Pressure sensors are used to monitor the pressure of fluids in pipes, hydraulics, engines and in nature. Specialized sensors are also used in order to determine the pressure of gases or solids. Most modern pressure sensors work based on piezoresistance.

The exerted pressure causes a material to conduct electricity at a certain rate, therefore leading to a specific level of charge flow that is associated with a specific level of pressure. This charge is fed to a wire that leads to a control panel and a display for human analysis. Pressure sensors that use semiconductors as the resistive media conduct more or less electricity based on geometric deformations in their structure.

Pressure sensors have a long functional life and high reliability due to their ruggedness. They are also easy to use and can be adapted to several applications and offer a low overall cost.

There are many applications for pressure sensors. They can be useful in aircraft, automobiles, weather instrumentation and any other machinery that has pressure functionality implemented. They can also be used to sense altitude in aircraft, rockets, satellites and weather balloons. Another application for pressure sensors is in measuring flow.

The video explains the various kinds of pressure sensors, and then shows the process of finding the right product on the company's website in real time, by using parameters such as supply voltage, type, maximum output current, operating pressure range and packaging type, manufacturer and more, and find the best parts for any application.
