Electronics and Aerospace Divisions Merge
May 10, 2007 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
DORSET, U.K. Meggitt PLC, of Endevco Corporation, merged its electronics and aerospace groups to form a sensing systems division that combines similar products, services, and applications. The sensing group will have access to centers of excellence in France, Switzerland, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S.
The sensing systems unit will design and manufacture high-performance sensing solutions for harsh environment applications in aerospace, energy, medical, industrial, and automotive sectors. The company's sensors measure acceleration, speed, pressure, force, temperature, distance, position, vibration, and level for long-term use in high-temperature, high-shock, limited-space, bio-compatible, and other severe conditions.
Endevco Corporation recently released an SMT accelerometer, 40366, for implantable medical device applications, with reportedly high reliability, repeatability, and a small package size for integration into pacemakers, defibrillators, etc. The hermetic seal offers 1-kg shear bond strength to protect the variable capacitance MEMS device. Its footprint is 2.05 × 2.90 mm configured in a three-terminal half-bridge. Features include over-range stops with provisions to eliminate electrostatic sticking when the accelerometer is over-ranged, <0.035-pF repeatability, and frequency response of 40 Hz with a transverse sensitivity of <1%.
