The Model 3801A is a mV output MEMS accelerometer in a rugged hermetic package. The accelerometer incorporates mechanical stops for over-range protection up to 10,000g.

The Model 3801A is offered in ranges from ±2 to ±2000g and is gas damped to provide a wide frequency response to >5000Hz, far beyond the typical range of comparable VC accelerometers. The accelerometer is temperature compensated to provide a stable output over the operating environment. The Model 3801A is designed for stud mounting and incorporates a detachable cable assembly. For an amplified version of this accelerometer in a similar package, please review the model 4801A.
