Datasheet

Four new series of Murata inclination sensors that are claimed to have the best shock durability on the MEMS market are now available in Europe at TTI. The inclinometers help determine the 3D position of agriculture and construction equipment when operating in rough outdoor environments, as well as high accuracy levelling and inclination measurement instruments and platform levelling and stabilisation applications.

Murata inclination sensors combine high performance with excellent stability over temperature and time for extended product lifecycles.

The SCA830-D07 Series is a single axis inclinometer which integates high accuracy micromechanical acceleration sensing together with a digital SPI interface. It is designed, manufactured and tested for the high stability, reliability and quality requirements of automotive applications such as hill start aids, electronic parking brakes, roll over detection and suspension control.

It boasts extensive self-diagnostic features and is qualified to AEC-Q-100 standard. Supplied in a RoHS-compliant Dual Flat Lead (DFL) plastic package for guaranteed reliability over its lifetime, the SCA830-D07 is part of Murata's digital accelerometer family and is fully compatible with Murata single axis accelerometers (SCA800 Series) and other multi axis accelerometers (SCA2100 Series and SCA3100 Series).

The Murata SCA103T Series is an analogue high performance differential 1-axis inclinometer which boasts exceptionally high accuracy, thanks to the use of differential measurement principles, which compensate all common mode error and noise effects.

Along with its robust design and small size (11.31mm high x 15.58mm long x 5.08mm high), the SCA`103T Series features -0.001º resolution (10Hz BW , analogue output), 7μg/√Hz noise density and offset temperature dependency of -25…85°C) ±0.002°/°C.
