Packaging provides a critical success factor for just about any product including sensors. Recognizing that some potential customers would prefer a connector rather than a surface mounted package, Piher designed a printed circuit board (PCB) to mount both its MTS-360 Rotary Position Sensor and a couple of mating connector options.
The MTS-360PCB Rotary Position Sensor uses the company’s non contact, through-shaft 360º absolute position sensor and either 6-pin (dual output) or 3-pin (single output) Molex 90119 Series mating connectors mounted on a PCB. Instead of the 6-mm x 17-mm x 18-mm dimensions of the MTS-360, the PCB assembly is 36 mm x 35 mm x 7.5 mm. It still benefits from the non-contact Hall effect technology in the sensor and can be used in use in -40°C to +125°C environments.
