In addition to the 316L stainless steel housing, the M5200 features a pressure port machined from a solid piece of 17-4 PH or 316L stainless steel.

Different pressure ports and electrical configurations are available to provide a customised unit. Standard pressure ranges vary from 0 - 3.5bar to 0 - 1,000bar in gauge, sealed or compound gauge configurations. The M5200 features reverse polarity protection at input and short circuit protection at output.

The weatherproof transducer is available in connection configurations such as bayonet, cable and M12 (IP67), Packard (IP66) and Form A and C (IP65). More than ten pressure ports, including BSPP, NPT, UNF and ISO 6149-2 options, add to the unit’s design flexibility.

An optional stainless steel snubber acts as a flow control mechanism, if needed.
