Originally designed for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology world; the SAL’s waterproof design extends from the sheath through the sealed transitions to the extruded lead wires preventing capillary action during pressure cycling, which can force water into the cable jacket and up into the sensor causing premature failure. Built to withstand the harsh, repeated steam/vacuum cycling of the autoclave process in a compact 0.125″ sheath design makes this an ideal choice for use in load monitoring applications such as vials and sample cells.
