Techs of the Week: Torque and Liquid Level Sensors
More information here.
An optical liquid level sensor eliminates the need for encapsulation material to seal the light source, detector, and associated wire bonds within the assembly. Without thermal expansion and contraction of encapsulating material, the operating temperature range is significantly extended. The sensor uses a semiconductor light source and is suitable for extreme operating environments such as industrial, commercial, military, or aerospace.
