Model 12m9 Piezoelectic accelerometer Features Description • For SMT Installation • Light Weight (85 mg) • High Output Efficiency • Low Cost/OEM Applications • Single connector, flexible cable The Endevco model 12M9 Picochip is a high performance piezoelectric accelerometer packaged for surface mounting. The unit is engineered for integration into standard hybrid electronics packages allowing the user to create miniaturized shock and vibration measurement systems. The model 12M9 features Endevco's Piezite type P-8 bimorph sensing element, operating in the bender mode, which provides low base strain sensitivity, low pyroelectric output, and extremely high charge output versus size. Contact to the sensing element is made through the top and bottom metalized surfaces. The unit is designed to be mounted with conductive adhesives or solder on the bottom surface and a solder or wire bond connection to the top surface. Since the model 12M9 is a high impedance piezoelectric device, extreme care must be exercised in shielding it from stray electromagnetic noise.
