The PPS02 Stainless Steel Pressure Sensor is a compact, media-isolated pressure sensing element designed for high-accuracy pressure measurement in harsh, corrosive, and space-constrained OEM applications. Built with 316L stainless steel construction and a 12 mm form factor, the PPS02 provides reliable performance where durability, material compatibility, and long-term stability are critical.
The PPS02 uses a piezoresistive MEMS sensing element isolated by high-purity silicone oil inside a stainless steel housing. This design helps protect the sensing element from aggressive media while maintaining strong repeatability, low hysteresis, and dependable pressure measurement across a wide operating temperature range.
Stainless Steel Pressure Sensor for OEM Integration
The PPS02 is designed for OEMs that need a small, rugged pressure sensor element that can be integrated directly into a system, manifold, valve assembly, instrument, or custom pressure port. Its stainless steel diaphragm and housing provide corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, making it suitable for demanding applications involving liquids, gases, refrigerants, hydraulic fluids, saltwater, and other media compatible with stainless steel.
Standard pressure ranges are available from 500 PSI to 10,000 PSI in sealed gauge configuration, with additional custom pressure ranges available for OEM customers. The PPS02 can be supplied as a standalone sensor element with an O-ring face seal or configured with common pressure ports including 1/4”-18 NPT, 1/8”-27 NPT, 7/16”-20 UNF, 9/16”-18 UNF AN, 1/4” BSPP, or a custom port configuration.

Media Compatibility and 316L Stainless Steel Construction
The PPS02 pressure sensor element is compatible with many liquids and gases, including hydraulic fluids, refrigerants, saltwater, and other corrosive or aggressive media that are not reactive with stainless steel. All wetted components are constructed of stainless steel and sealed with fluorine rubber, while the internal fill uses high-purity silicone oil for media isolation and thermal stability.
For applications where material compatibility is critical, engineers should evaluate the process media, temperature, pressure exposure, and sealing method before selecting a sensor. Additional information about pressure calibration standards is available from NIST pressure and vacuum calibration resources, and general 316L stainless steel material information is available from ASM/MatWeb 316L stainless steel data.
Stainless Steel Pressure Sensor Applications
The PPS02 Stainless Steel Pressure Sensor is suitable for OEM systems where the sensor must withstand demanding media, compact mechanical packaging, and long-term operating conditions. Its stainless steel construction and media-isolated design make it a strong fit for hydraulic, refrigeration, industrial, marine, medical, aerospace, and instrumentation applications.

Pressure Port and Configuration Options
The PPS02 can be ordered as a sensor-only element or configured with standard and custom pressure connections. Available port options include sensor-only, 1/4” NPT, 1/8” NPT, 7/16” UNF, 9/16” UNF AN, 1/4” BSPP, and custom configurations. This flexibility allows OEM customers to match the PPS02 to their mechanical assembly, pressure interface, sealing method, and installation requirements.
Temperature compensation options include uncompensated and compensated versions depending on the application requirements. Phoenix Sensors can help review your pressure range, media, temperature exposure, port requirements, and output needs to determine the best configuration for your system.
PPS02 Electrical Connections
The PPS02 uses a six-pin electrical connection layout for bridge excitation and output signal. Pin functions include negative input, positive output, no connection, positive input, negative output, and negative input. For system integration, Phoenix Sensors recommends reviewing the datasheet and confirming wiring, excitation method, and signal conditioning requirements before installation.
