POSITION SENSORS PRODUCT GUIDE
TE Connectivity (TE) is one of the largest connectivity and sensor companies in the world, with the
acquisition of Measurement Specialties. Our broad portfolio of sensor technologies is designed for a wide
range of applications and serves a number of industries. We collaborate with engineers to help transform
their concepts into creations—redefining what’s possible using intelligent, efficient and high-performing TE
products and solutions proven in harsh environments.
INTRODUCTION
TE is a leading manufacturer of linear and angular
position, tilt and fluid level sensors. Both off-the-shelf
and custom position sensing solutions are available
featuring our inductive, magneto-resistive, Hall effect,
MEMS, electrolytic and capacitive core technologies.
Sophisticated designs and state-of-the-art
manufacturing techniques provide reliable and cost
effective solutions for a broad range of applications.
INNOVATIVE
SENSOR SOLUTIONS
Applications range from automotive, construction
equipment/vehicles, power generation, oil and
gas including subsea, hydraulics, medical, HVACR,
metrology, process controls and factory automation
to the most severe environments in military,
aerospace and nuclear operations.
TE position sensors are available in both analog and
digital outputs. Our comprehensive range of signal
conditioning instrumentation allows us to meet the
specific needs of both OEMs and end users.

INDUCTIVE LINEAR POSITION TRANSDUCERS
TE technologies for inductive linear absolute position transducers include the LVDT (Linear Variable Differential
Transformer) and the LVIT (Linear Variable Inductive Transducer). These sensors feature friction-free, non-contact
inductive magnetic coupling for extremely long cycle life and virtually infinite resolution. Various off the shelf and custom
packaging options are available for the most demanding application requirements. Our AC operated LVDTs are compatible
with our full line of signal conditioners, panel displays and mini-controllers.

ANISOTROPIC MAGNETO-RESISTIVE (AMR) SENSOR COMPONENTS
TE AMR sensor components are precise and contactless devices that measure the changes in the angle of a magnetic field
as seen by the sensor. The unique feature of the AMR effect enables designs of devices that can either detect disturbance
in extremely weak fields, for example in traffic detection sensors, as well as precision encoders using strong fields (for
example from a magnet). All AMR sensor components are ROHS compliant.
