Alps Alpine's atmosphere pressure sensor (environmental Pressure Sensor) is specifically designed for an ever-expanding list of product applications. We manufacture innovative waterproof and digital options with low noise and low current consumption. Originally designed for drone and smartphones, Alps Alpine's digital pressure sensor evolved to meet customer's needs. Requirements like water resistance, high attitude and water pressure detection.
