VDO OIL PRESSURE SENSOR ANALOGUE

Description

VDO Analogue Oil Pressure Sensor (0–10 Bar / 0–145 PSI)

Overview:

An aviation-grade, VDO-branded analogue oil pressure sensor designed for compatibility with Rotax and other light aircraft engines. It offers precise, reliable readings within a 0–10 bar (0–145 psi) range, suitable for use with mechanical or electrical gauges and engine monitoring systems.

Key Features:

• Pressure Range: 0–10 bar (0–145 psi)

• Signal Output: 10–184 Ω variable resistance (common-ground)

• Operating Voltage: 6–24 V DC

• Thread Type: 1/8″ – 27 NPTF male

• Connector Style: Dual M4 plastic knurled nut terminals (resistance output)

Electrical Specs:

• Delivers a smooth analogue resistance signal compatible with a wide range of gauges and EFIS/EMS systems

• Includes an integrated warning switch for low-pressure alerts

Mechanical Specs:

• Built to withstand spikes up to 30 bar

• Durable performance from –25 °C to +100 °C

Advantages:

• Compatible with Rotax 912/914/915 engines and popular EFIS instruments (e.g., Dynon, AvMap)

• Factory-quality sensor matching OEM performance

• Robust and reliable, with VDO’s proven quality

Typical Applications:

• Aircraft engine oil pressure monitoring

• Replacement or upgrade for mechanical dash gauges or digital EMS/EFIS input devices

Installation Reminders:

• Use the correct 1/8″ NPTF connector; sealing tape may affect performance
