Measurement Specialties Inc. now part of TE Connectivity, is a global designer and manufacturer of sensors and
sensor-based systems. Our products are used as embedded devices by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) or as
standalone sensors for test and measurement to provide critical monitoring, feedback and control input. Our value proposition is to understand your sensing needs and develop a solution that meets your performance and cost objectives.
The Test and Measurement (T&M) Division of Measurement
Specialties Inc. serves the needs of customers who are involved
in product research, development, test and evaluation. As opposed to the typical OEM embedded applications, the T&M division focuses on Plug and Play sensors. These products are fully
configured, shipped with calibration certificates and are ready to
use “out of the box” with no additional modification of the sensor
required. Product support is provided in a timely fashion by our
team of application specialists as well as by our on-line resource
library of application notes, manuals, datasheets, product brochures and technical papers. Measurement Specialties supports
the Test and Measurement industry by offering a broad range
of pressure transducers, accelerometers, LVDT/RVDT’s, inclinometers, potentiometers, load cells, torque sensors, and a full
range of interface electronics. We are global leaders in militaryaerospace R&D, motorsport, vehicle design & testing, and automotive safety testing. The Aerodynamic Research group within
