ASC 66C2 High-range piezoresistive accelerometer sensor

Compact MEMS accelerometer sensor for extreme crash and shock testing up to ±10000g, with robust DC response and high signal integrity.


Key features

  • Measurement range up to 6000g
  • Shock resistance up to ±10000g
  • DC response from 0 Hz
  • MEMS piezoresistive technology
  • Wheatstone bridge output
  • Lightweight and compact design

Performance highlights

The ASC 66C2 is a high-performance accelerometer sensor built on advanced piezoresistive MEMS technology. With a measurement range of up to 6000g and shock resistance up to ±10000g, this model is ideal for applications involving extreme acceleration, such as crash and shock testing. The DC response ensures accurate measurements starting from 0 Hz.

Operating conditions

The sensor is housed in a lightweight, hard-anodized aluminium casing, making it suitable for mounting on delicate structures. Integrated overload stops protect the internal MEMS chip against damage, even during high-impact events.

Possible applications

  • High-impact crash testing (automotive)
  • Shock testing in aerospace and defense
  • Vibration and impact testing of components
  • Structural testing with extreme G-forces
  • OEM integrations in safety-critical environments
