Image DT-Leads

The DT-Leads series of piezo film sensors elements are rectangular elements of piezo film with silver ink screen printed electrodes.

They are available in a variety of different sizes and thicknesses. Lead attachment is accomplished using a riveted lug going to 12” (300 mm) of 28 AWG wire.

The DT film element produces more then 10 millivolts per micro-strain. The capacitance is proportional to the area and inversely proportional to the thickness of the element. The DT elements are supplied with a thin urethane coating over the active electrode area to prevent oxidation to the top surface of the silver ink.

Features

  • Piezoelectric film sensor with leads attachments and cable
  • Thin piezo polymer with high piezo activity
  • Flexible silver ink metallization
  • Available in different sizes and thicknesses
  • Min impedance: 1 MΩ; recommended 10 MΩ
  • Output voltage: mV to 100’s of volts
  • Operating temperature: -40 to 140°F (-40 to 60°C)

Applications

  • Sensing dynamic strain
  • Recording time of an event
  • Counting number of impacts
  • Make your own sensor element
