Piezoelectric IEPE Technology
ASC’s General Purpose IEPE accelerometers are made of piezoelectric ceramics and are
usable over a wide frequency range from 0.3Hz to 10kHz. The accelerometers are IEPE
(Integrated Electronics PiezoElectric) sensors that produce an output voltage proportional
to the input acceleration. The sensors feature a built-in preamplifier and a charge to voltage
converter that transforms the high-impedance charge output from the piezoelectric ceramic
(Lead Zirconate Titanate, PZT) into a low-impedance voltage output that is suitable to drive
long cables. ASC’s IEPE sensors operate on a 2-10mA constant-current supply and use a
two-wire coaxial cable for power input and signal output.

Description
ASC’s General Purpose IEPE accelerometers, P101A15 and P101A25, are analog voltage output
sensors. These piezoelectric vibration sensors are used typically in general purpose vibration
and shock monitoring applications. The sensors are based on a piezoelectric annular shear
design, which provides excellent immunity against base strain and temperature transients.
ASC Type P101A15 has a side exit connector and Type P101A25 has a top exit connector.
ASC’s General Purpose accelerometers, P101A15 and P101A25, feature a rugged stainless
steel housing that is corrosion proof and chemical resistant. ASC Type P101A15 and P101A25
operate over a wide temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. Both sensors incorporate a
welded hermetic construction and can withstand shocks up to 5000g’s. The industry standard
10-32 coaxial connectors with side and top exit options provide flexibility in mounting. The
sensors are available with built-in TEDS (optional).
