Description

The DT1-052K from TE Connectivity utilizes a proprietary piezoelectric polymer film to generate a high-voltage output signal in response to mechanical strain, vibration, or impact. This sensing principle provides exceptional sensitivity for dynamic measurements, far exceeding the capabilities of static strain gauges.

Designed for flexibility and ease of integration, the sensor can be adhered to surfaces using tape or epoxy, making it ideal for custom sensor designs in condition monitoring, acoustic emission detection, and tactile sensing applications. Its performance is optimized when paired with a high-input-impedance amplifier (recommended ≥10 MΩ) to accurately capture the generated charge.

Key Features

  • High Piezoelectric Activity: Thin polymer film generates significant voltage output from minimal mechanical strain.
  • Customizable Connection: Silver ink electrodes allow for user-specified lead attachment via soldering or conductive epoxy.
  • Broad Dynamic Range: Capable of producing output from millivolts to hundreds of volts depending on strain rate and circuit design.
  • Robust Environmental Tolerance: Operates reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +60°C.
  • Versatile Form Factor: Compact, rectangular shape (42mm x 10mm) facilitates integration into constrained spaces.
  • Superior Sensitivity: Delivers a sensitivity greater than 10 mV/μstrain, significantly outperforming metal foil gauges.

Applications

  • Industrial machinery vibration monitoring and predictive maintenance.
  • Acoustic emission detection for structural health monitoring and crack detection.
  • Impact and tactile force sensing in robotics and human-machine interfaces.
  • Dynamic strain measurement in material testing and research setups.
  • Energy harvesting from ambient vibrations in low-power sensor nodes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect wires to the DT1-052K sensor since it has no leads?

The silver ink electrodes on the sensor are designed for user attachment. You can solder thin, flexible wires directly to the electrode pads using a low-temperature, quick soldering technique. Alternatively, conductive epoxy or silver conductive adhesive can be used for a permanent, low-stress connection.

What type of amplifier or circuit is required to read the sensor's signal?

Due to the piezoelectric effect's high-impedance, charge-generating nature, a high-input-impedance amplifier is essential. A charge amplifier or a voltage amplifier with an input impedance of at least 1 MΩ (10 MΩ recommended) is required to prevent signal attenuation and accurately measure the output voltage proportional to the applied strain or vibration.

What is the typical output voltage range of this piezo film sensor?

The output voltage is highly dependent on the rate and magnitude of the applied mechanical strain. It can range from millivolts for subtle vibrations to several hundred volts for Sharp Microelectronics impacts. The specified sensitivity is greater than 10 millivolts per microstrain (mV/μstrain), providing a high signal level for dynamic events.

Can this sensor be used for static force or pressure measurement?

No, piezoelectric sensors like the DT1-052K are primarily for dynamic or alternating measurements. The generated charge in a piezoelectric material leaks away over time, making it unsuitable for measuring static (DC) forces. It is ideal for vibration, impact, and any time-varying strain application.
