Battery Powered ICP® Sensor Signal Conditioners
Battery-powered signal conditioners offer a portable and convenient solution for powering ICP® sensors and ICP® in-line charge converters, facilitating seamless integration into any measurement chain. Utilizing these units is straightforward: simply connect a cable from the sensor to the input and another from the data acquisition system to the output. Once powered on, they efficiently condition signals for transmission to the readout device.

Low Noise Prepolarized Microphone
378A04
The 378A04 is a matched system that is comprised of a high sensitivity microphone and a low noise preamplifier that contains a built-in filter that enables the free-field response to remain flat over a wide frequency range. The system requires a minimum of 4 mA and measures to 6.5 dBA (5.5 dBA typical) within a cost efficient, prepolarized (0V) design. PCB's model 378A04, the industry's first prepolarized low noise microphone and preamplifier system allows you to measure extremely low amplitudes. In the past this was only possible with externally polarized solutions. With a typical noise floor of 5.5dBA, this microphone system delivers all of the benefits commonly associated with prepolarized systems.

General Purpose Low Profile
Our low profile load cells feature an advanced structural design that makes them extremely durable, accurate, and resistant to large extraneous shear and moment loads. To perform in a linear and predictable manner, the outside diameter of the load cell must be bolted to a flat rigid surface. When this is unavailable, our factory installed base provides a convenient threaded attachment point for easy installation and use in both tension and compression. All low profile load cells are stocked with the mounting base installed, but we can remove the base upon request.
