TE Connectivity Sensor Solutions

Sensors are devices that provide detection and measurement of a physical stimulus and convert that measurement into an electrical output signal that can represent the level, intensity, or strength of the property.

TE Connectivity’s Sensors are engineered for performance and reliability, offering flexible and durable solutions for Spirit’s aerospace and defense customers.

TE Sensor products include sensors for temperature, pressure, force, position, vibration and scanning. TE Sensors are used in cockpit controls, flight controls and actuation, landing gear and brakes, engines, launch and space explorations.

TE Sensors have supported specialized NASA space applications for over 40 years, including qualified thermistors for extended space flight under the NASA GSFC S-311-P-18 specification. TE’s recently developed MEMS accelerometer flew on the Solar Impulse project, and their negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors and fluxgate magnetometers (FGMs) supported the scientific observation mission on NASA’s Juno spacecraft.

  • Certified sensors for harsh and hazardous environments, where sensors may be exposed to explosive atmospheres, extreme temperatures, high vibration levels, mechanical shock, or environments with strong EMI/RFI/ESD fields or high levels of radioactivity.
  • Multi-sensor modules to measure multiple parameter outputs via an I2C interface.

Rugged Sensor Solutions for Aerospace, Defense and Marine Applications

TE Connectivity Sensors can match sensing technology with rugged packages sealed from harsh electrical environments and able to withstand vibration, shock, and other mechanical stresses, offered in the appropriate form factor for easy integration into your system.

Sensors for Tamper Detection

TE Connectivity’s polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) tamper detection sensors offer a complete solution in a space efficient form factor for the detection of physical tampering in small, high security enclosures. The sensor comes in the form of a multi-layer laminate that wraps around the electronics area requiring protection. Once properly adhered and connected, any attempt to physically open or penetrate the enclosure will trigger a detection. Detection of a tamper attempt can result in a customer-specified reaction such as the erasure of critical data, like encryption keys, or disabling the overall system. These tamper detection sensors are designed to allow the user to achieve FIPS 140-2 level 4 physical security compliance while meeting their specific requirements.
