Sensata Introduces New Gasoline Direct Injection Sensor

25 September 2007

Sensata Technologies, formerly the Sensors & Controls business of Texas Instruments, has introduced a new gasoline direct injection sensor which, when used with multi-port fuel injection systems, can improve fuel economy 4% to 8%, according to the company.

This sensor employs advanced monocrystalline silicon MEMS strain gage technology (MSG) to create an efficient air/fuel mixture over a range of fuels, and across a wide temperature range. This advanced sensor design is suited for fuel delivery systems operating at 300 bar and higher.

Multi-port fuel injection systems are becoming the norm in global automotive markets. Our GDI sensor is delivering a new level of precision sensing for this market that will continue to support the fuel economy and performance goals of our customers.
