processing equipment via a sanitary termination. They offer a
genderless design, simplifying system integration at the aseptic
connector end. Available in both standard and high-temperature
versions, the connectors are recommended for gamma and autoclave
sterilization methods and are made with polycarbonate and
silicone materials.

n Pressure Sensors
Clippard, Cincinnati, OH, has expanded
the Cordis family with this new
transducer line. The piezoresistive silicone
pressure sensors can either be used
as feedback for the company's CPC pressure
controller or as a standalone transducer.
Current optional outputs are 0-5, 0-10, and 0.5-4.5 VDC. The
transducers are conditioned and temperature compensated. Calibration
is customized specific to the application requirements. Multiple
mounting options allow the user to place the sensor downstream or in
a remote location from the pressure controller. The manifold mount
lends itself well to analytical value-added assemblies. All wetted materials
are oxygen compatible, and manifold mounting eliminates any possible
contamination during assembly.

phase stability performance, and applications to generate a list of
products that best meet their requirements. In addition to this, the
design tool automatically calculates and confirms electrical characteristics
necessary for product selection, thereby making it easy to use, particularly
when the product model number is unknown and needs to be
specified independent of the connector.
