RENESAS Flow Sensor, FS1012 Series, Gas, MEMS, 10000 SCCM, 3 V to 5 V, mV Output

The FS1012 MEMS mass flow sensor module measures the flow rate using the thermo–transfer (calorimetric) principle. The FS1012 is capable of measuring a gas or liquid medium. The FS1012 offers key advantages over resistor–based flow solutions. The sensor utilizes thermopile sensing, which provides an excellent signal–to–noise ratio. The sensor comprises a “solid” thermal isolation technology and silicon–carbide coating to protect
it from abrasive wear and provides robustness and long–term reliability. In comparison, other sensors typically contain a fragile membrane above an etched cavity for the thermal isolation base. The FS1012 features the sensor fully assembled and wire–bonded out to a 6–pin header. Wetted materials consist of a glass fiber reinforced PA66 resin, epoxy, and silicon carbide.
