Sensors supplier signs global distribution deal

Mouser Electronics has inked a global distribution agreement with Amphenol SGX Sensortech, adding robust environmental sensors to its sensor linecard. The Amphenol SGX Sensortech product line includes four series of gas sensors. The MiCS-VZ-89TE indoor air quality sensor combines state-of-the-art MOS sensor technology with intelligent detection algorithms to monitor total volatile organic compounds (tVOCs) and CO2 equivalent variations in confined spaces, such as rooms or vehicle cabins.

The Integrated IR (INIR) devices are user-friendly digital gas sensors that use the latest SGX Sensortech infrared (IR) technology.

The triple-range sensors, available for sensing either CO₂ or methane gas, provide temperature-compensated data through both digital and analogue outputs.

The IR gas sensors are available in three series: IR1xxx/IR2xxx, IRx5TT, and IR600. IR1xxx and IR2xxx devices are compact, low-power, robust gas diffusion sensors that use proven Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) methods for detecting CO₂ and many hydrocarbon gases in hazardous environments and mining applications.

The VQ Series combustible gas sensors (or pellistors) are available in catalytic — that is, detecting combustible gases in concentrations that are approaching the explosive range — and thermal conductivity — detecting gasses with lower weight than that of air, such as hydrogen and helium — options.

Engineers can choose from metric, 0.5in., and 0.75in. head units that detect a range of gasses, including CO₂, ammonia, broad hydrocarbons, and high hydrocarbons. Other options include poison resistance, low voltage, and shock resistance.
