Types of Industrial Sensors and their Uses

Image
  Sensors are input devices that provide an output (signal) concerning a particular physical quantity (input). Over the years, different types of sensors have emerged to measure and monitor various elements such as heat, humidity, pressure, etc., and they are used across various applications. This blog from Millennium Semiconductors, a leading sensors distributor in India , quickly runs you through seven different sensors. 10 Types of Industrial Sensors and their Uses 1.        Pressure Sensor A pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure of the gas, air, and water. It provides an electrical signal to the controller and is used in vacuum, pneumatic and hydraulic systems. The various pressure sensors include Absolute Pressure Sensor, Differential Pressure Sensor, Vacuum Pressure Sensor, and Gauge Pressure Sensor. 2.        Temperature Sensor As the name suggests, a temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature and heat energy and convert it into an electrical signal. Tempera

  The Main Features of IGBT Power Modules Looking out for the main features of an IGBT power module? Millennium Semiconductors, one of the top semiconductor distributors, talks about some of the features of IGBT power modules through this article. What is an IGBT? So, before we proceed to look at IGBT power module features, let us see what does an IGBT mean? IGBT is the abbreviation for Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor. It is a three-terminal power semiconductor device mainly used an electronic switch. IGBT is ideal for modern-age electronic devices due to their ability to quickly switch on or switch off the power flow. IGBT power modules are required to convert electricity from one form to another. What does an IGBT Module do? IGBT power modules work as an electronic switching device that enables the current to switch from DC to AC. Through alternate switching, DC can be transformed to AC, and similarly, AC can be converted into DC. Features of an IGBT Power Module Som
