We are often asked whether for instruments with M12 x 1 connector the corresponding mating connector (also called cable socket or angular connector) is included in the scope of delivery of our pressure sensors. Our clear answer is: no. Unlike the DIN connectors forms A …

Angular connector form A leaking/ loss of IP ingress protection
| Michèle Beyer | GeneralWhat are the rules that must be observed when assembling the angular connector EN 175301-803 A, to ensure that the IP rating is maintained, that is, connector and device remain really leak-tight? Unfortunately, a lot of things can go wrong when using the angular …
More efficient heating with WIKA sensors and heat pumps
| Sabine Mai | GeneralThe working principle of a heat pump is basically identical to that of an everyday appliance known to all of us: the refrigerator. However, while the refrigerator removes heat from its interior and gives it off to the environment, the heat pump removes heat from the …
Active and passive temperature compensation of pressure sensors
| Dominik Lorenz | GeneralHow does an active or passive temperature compensation of pressure transmitters actually work? High-quality pressure transmitters, especially those used in precision critical applications, are almost always provided with an individual temperature compensation. But …
Definition of the IP68 rating in theory and practice
| Michèle Beyer | GeneralUnfortunately, we are asked too rarely regarding the specification of the IP68 rating for our pressure sensors and submersible pressure transmitters, i.e. how deep such an instrument may be submersed. However, this is not only a very meaningful question but also a …
