ASC 3521MF Uniaxial MEMS sensor with 7 kHz bandwidth and differential output

High-resolution sensor with aluminum housing, ultra-low noise, and 6,000 g shock resistance — built for test benches and e-mobility validation.


Key features

  • MEMS capacitive sensing with analog differential output
  • Frequency range up to 7,000 Hz (±3 dB)
  • Measurement range: ±2 g to ±200 g
  • Ultra-low noise: from 10 µg/√Hz
  • Compact anodized aluminum housing
  • High shock resistance: up to 6,000 g
  • Wide supply voltage: 5 to 40 VDC
  • Configurable cable length and connector
  • IP65 rated, lightweight (22 g)

Performance

The ASC 3521MF is a robust and compact uniaxial MEMS capacitive sensor engineered for demanding dynamic testing environments. It features a differential analog output with excellent signal-to-noise ratio and high immunity to external interference.

Thanks to its extended frequency response up to 7 kHz and shock resistance of 6,000 g, this sensor delivers precise acceleration data for high-speed events, making it ideal for test bench setups, battery validation and vibration monitoring in EV applications.

Applications

  • HV battery stability tests in e-mobility systems
  • Test benches for electric drivetrains
  • Vibration analysis in structural prototypes
  • Shock load monitoring in aerospace components
  • Modal and endurance testing in automotive engineering
  • Operational safety assessments for electronics

Advantages

  • Wide dynamic range with selectable sensitivities
  • Stable output under thermal stress
  • Small footprint for tight integration
  • Resistant to vibration, shock and harsh environments
  • Optional TEDS module for sensor identification
  • Designed and manufactured in Germany
