Temperature (NTC, thermocouple, DS18B20), pressure (MEMS, gauge), motion (accelerometer, gyro, IMU), proximity, optical and image sensors serve different systems.
Accuracy, range, resolution, output interface (analog, I2C, SPI, 1-Wire), supply voltage and response time. For IMUs, noise density and drift matter.
Sensor availability varies by category; automotive and medical sensors face qualification requirements. Keep alternates with compatible interfaces.
We source common sensors (temperature, IMU, Hall, opto) with batch traceability and quote within 30 minutes. Submit MPN or target specs via RFQ.
