65xxN/69xxN IoT Wireless Pressure Sensors for Monitoring Challenges

TE Connectivity (TE) has added two wireless pressure sensors to its portfolio: 65xxN wireless pressure sensor for short-range coverage, and 69xxN wireless pressure sensor for long-range coverage. These sensors meet the demand for miniaturized, digital, low-power, and wireless sensors that operate in challenging environments.

Designed for periodic condition monitoring, the 65xxN wireless pressure sensor uses BLE (Bluetooth low energy) 5.3 communications to support localized data collection and transmission. It offers long battery performance and adapts to various pressure conditions. It's also compact and easily fits into tight spaces.

“TE’s newest wireless pressure sensor offerings seamlessly align with the foundational principles of Industry 4.0 and the IoT-driven smart factory model while as the same time bringing practical, efficient solutions to industrial monitoring challenges and helping to keep machinery operational." — Andrew Smith, product manager at TE.

Engineered with LoRaWAN technology, the 69xxN wireless pressure sensor offers long-range coverage over several kilometers, low power consumption, and scalability to support numerous devices within a single network. This compact sensor fits into different environments, from tight spaces to remote infrastructures, and offers a wide pressure sensing range, reducing the need for multiple sensors, and simplifying system integration. Its extended battery life and customizable transmission thresholds lower maintenance frequency and increase reliability.

With security features for data protection and certification for hazardous areas, both the 65xxN and 69xxN series wireless pressure sensors are safe for critical applications and high-risk areas.
