Endevco receives 2007 "Best of Sensors Expo" Award for subminiature SMT piezoresistive accelerometer

Endevco Corporation, the leader in sensing solutions for demanding vibration, shock and pressure applications, has received a 2007 "Best of Sensors Expo" Bronze Award in the Sensors category for its model 71 subminiature SMT piezoresistive accelerometer.

"Best of Sensors Expo" awards honor the most exciting new products on display at the 2007 Sensors Expo & Conference June 11-13 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. Entries were judged on the basis of potential impact, application, distinctiveness, timeliness, and availability.

The Endevco model 71 accelerometer was recognized for its innovation as a "tiny high-shock accelerometer micromachined from a single piece of silicon and incorporating both the inertial mass and Wheatstone bridge circuit. Its size and its low mass give the sensor the ability to survive highfrequency shock pulses that can shatter the seismic systems of lower-resonance accelerometers."

"The model 71 is an excellent example of Endevco's transducer engineering team and our MEMS manufacturing team working closely together to develop the type of unique, high-performance solution for very challenging applications which Endevco is known for," stated James Fisher, Endevco director of marketing.

Judges for the "Best of Sensors Expo" Awards were Sensors magazine editorial staff including Executive Editor Melanie Martella, members of the editorial advisory board, and industry experts including Deborah Lickness, Engineer, Advanced Sensors, John Deere; and Ed Ramsden, Product Definer, SSIP/SSC, Maxim Integrated Products.

"The 'Best of Sensors Expo' awards program recognizes the companies that are truly at the forefront of innovation and leadership in the sensors industry," said Martella. "Choosing the winners from the exceptional pool of candidates was very difficultÑthere are some truly remarkable products out there. I offer hearty congratulations to the winners."
