dimensions
The Model 3038 is a hermetically
sealed SMD accelerometer designed for
high performance applications. The
accelerometer incorporates a gas-damped
piezoresistive MEMS sensing element
providing outstanding long-term stability.
The model 3038 provides a millivolt output
signal and features mechanical overload
stops that provide shock protection to
loads greater than 10,000g.
