TE Connectivity DT1-028K Piezo Film Vibration Sensor - Without Leads
The TE Connectivity DT1-028K is a high-sensitivity piezoelectric film sensor element designed for dynamic strain and vibration detection. This leadless sensor is ideal for integration into custom vibration monitoring systems, impact detection circuits, and contact microphone applications, requiring external signal conditioning with a high-impedance input (≥1 MΩ).
Features
- High-sensitivity piezoelectric polymer film element for dynamic strain and vibration sensing.
- Generates >10 mV/µstrain, offering ~60 dB higher output than foil strain gauges.
- Flexible silver ink electrodes on a thin, conformable polymer substrate.
- Leadless design for custom lead attachment via clamping, crimping, or conductive epoxy.
- Wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +60°C for robust environmental performance.

The DT1-028K from TE Connectivity is a fundamental piezoelectric film sensor element from the DT series. It consists of a rectangular piezo polymer film with screen-printed silver ink electrodes, providing a high voltage output proportional to applied dynamic strain or vibration. Its core principle leverages the direct piezoelectric effect to convert mechanical stress into an electrical charge, making it exceptionally sensitive to transient events.
This sensor is supplied without attached leads, offering maximum flexibility for integration. It can be permanently mounted to surfaces using double-sided tape or epoxy. The high output impedance necessitates connection to a buffer amplifier or data acquisition system with an input impedance of at least 1 MΩ (10 MΩ recommended) to prevent signal attenuation. With a nominal capacitance of 1.38 nF, it is suitable for a wide range of impact, vibration, and acoustic emission monitoring tasks in both prototyping and industrial environments.
