Posifa Technologies Introduces New MEMS Thermal Conductivity Hydrogen Sensors for Safety Monitoring

Featuring Two Thermal Conductivity Dies in a Compact Surface-Mount Package, Devices Deliver Increased Long-Term Stability at a Lower Cost
November 11, 2021

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Nov. 8, 2021 — Posifa Technologies today introduced its new PGS1000 series of MEMS thermal conductivity hydrogen sensors. Designed for stable, cost-effective safety monitoring in environments where hydrogen is used and stored, the devices consist of two thermal conductivity dies in a differential configuration — all packaged in a compact surface-mount form factor.

PGS1000 series hydrogen sensors detect hydrogen concentrations in the air by measuring the change in thermal conductivity of the gas mixture. This measurement approach provides better long-term stability, and enables a smaller form factor, than hydrogen sensors that are triggered by chemical reactions that eventually … Read More → "Posifa Technologies Introduces New MEMS Thermal Conductivity Hydrogen Sensors for Safety Monitoring"
