SMD: piezoelectric accelerometer ENDEVCO

Endevco Model 12M1A PICOCHIP™ is a high performance piezoelectric accelerometer packaged as a surface mount chip component. The unit is engineered for integration in standard hybrid or SMT electronics packages, along with custom designed signal conditioning circuits, allowing the user to create miniaturized shock and vibration measurement systems in one completely integrated package.

Model 12M1A features Endevco’s PIEZITE Type P-8 bimorph sensing element, operating in bender mode, which provides low base strain sensitivity, low pyroelectric output, and extremely high charge output versus size. Contact with the sensing element is made through two thick film gold metalized mounting pads on the bottom surface of the aluminum case. The unit is designed to be mounted with conductive adhesives or solder.
