Consumer Electronics Device and Component Validation
Today's competitive electronics market requires rigorous product validation, streamlined designs, zero defects, and rapid time-to-market. As a trusted sensor manufacturer, PCB Piezotronics serves many of the largest consumer electronics manufacturers, delivering cutting-edge Acoustic and Vibration Sensors. Our commitment to innovation drives the continual development of new and customized sensors, featuring increasingly compact sizes and enhanced performance levels. From high-g accelerometers to low-noise microphone models, we're committed to exceeding expectations in performance and reliability.
Acoustic testing is critical across various industries, serving as a vital tool for research, product validation, and end-of-line testing. PCB's prepolarized free-field condenser microphone (model 378B02) is a cornerstone in appliances and white goods testing, facilitating sound power, intensity, and pressure level measurements. We offer a diverse range of microphone and acoustic products, including 0V Prepolarized microphone systems powered by ICP® 2-20 mA constant current supply, externally polarized 200V systems, and 48V phantom powered systems tailored for the Professional Audio market. Whether you're testing computer components with our low-noise microphone system (model 378A04) or assessing loudspeakers, headphones, and earbuds using our phantom powered system (model 376A33), rest assured, we have the perfect acoustic sensor for your application.
Vibration and shock tests expose assemblies to controlled acceleration loads through measured drops or mass impacts. Fatigue tests subject assemblies to designated vibration profiles, aiming to stress mechanical components until failure. Introducing random vibration and thermal cycling elevates testing to highly accelerated levels (HALT / HASS). Our accelerometer product line offers measurement ranges from 0.5 g to100,000 g with a diverse offering of frequency response ranges.
Accelerometers to Measure Vibration and Shock
Ideal for environmental stress screening, general vibration testing, drop test simulation, crash dummy testing, and more.
- Piezoelectric ICP® Accelerometers
- Piezoresistive Shock Accelerometers
- MEMS DC Response Accelerometers
Microphones to Measure Acoustics
From computer disk drives that require extreme low noise testing, to loudspeakers, headphones and earbuds that require high amplitudes with minimal 1% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) levels, PCB has an acoustic sensor tailored for your application.
- Pre-Polarized ICP® Microphones
- Phantom powered 48V, 24V or 12V
