Overview

The Model 40A pedestrian impact test sensor is a small piezoresistive accelerometer designed to be compliant with the latest SAE J211/J2570 (AUG2009) specifications.

This accelerometer sensor features built-in mechanical stops, anodized aluminum alloy housing and flexible cable output.  The sensing element is fluid damped to extend useful frequency range and reduce the adverse effect of high frequencies ringing caused by sensor resonance.
