Miniature Analogue Strain Gauge Amplifier with 0-10 V 3 wire OutputICA6H
Description
ICA6H – Miniature Strain Gauge Amplifier (0–10 V Output)
The ICA6H is a high-performance OEM miniature strain gauge amplifier designed to deliver a 0–10 V analogue output via a 3-wire connection. Compact and reliable, it is intended for direct integration into load cells, force sensors, and other strain-based devices where space is limited and performance is critical.
As part of the ICAH series, the ICA6H provides very high stability with low drift over a wide temperature range, ensuring precise measurement even in demanding applications. Its 0–10 V signal is ideal for integration with most standard data acquisition and control systems.
The ICA range includes:
-
ICA1H, ICA2H, ICA3H, ICA4H, ICA6H – High-performance OEM variants
-
ICA5S – Industrial-grade version for rugged installations
-
The ICA5 is also available in an intrinsically safe ATEX-certified version (ICA5ATEX) for hazardous area applications.
An optional ILE (In-Line Enclosure) enables easy external installation, converting standard load cells into fully conditioned-output transducers.
