About the manufacturer

Fujikura Ltd. is a Japanese technology group with extensive experience in the manufacture of electronic components, cables, optical fibres and sensors. Miniature semiconductor pressure sensors are one of the company’s important areas of activity.

Fujikura sensors use the piezoresistive properties of silicon structures. A change in pressure deforms the measuring diaphragm, and this deformation is converted into an electrical signal.

The manufacturer offers sensors for measuring gauge, differential and absolute pressure. The range includes both basic sensing elements and sensors with integrated signal-conditioning electronics.

Fujikura solutions are valued for their compact dimensions, high sensitivity and suitability for integration into medical, industrial and consumer equipment.

Applications

Fujikura sensors are used, among others, in:

• Medical equipment.
• Ventilators and respiratory support equipment.
• HVAC systems.
• Industrial automation.
• Pneumatic equipment.
• Household appliances.
• Flow control systems.
• Consumer electronics.
• Measuring instruments.

They are particularly suitable for applications requiring the measurement of small pressure differences or airflow.
