Key features Description

■ 2,000, 20,000 and 60,000 g The Endevco model 72 series are low mass accelerometers suitable for SMT mounting.
ranges The accelerometers are intended to be used in a wide range of acceleration, vibration, and
shock applications. The model 72 features minimal mass loading, broad frequency response,
■ Lightly damped to attenuate minimum zero shift following a shock event and a Class 3 Rating (>4000 V – Human Body
resonance Model) for ESD Protection. For high g applications, the strength of the solder joints is not
sufficient to withstand high forces, so the model 72 must be epoxied (underfilled) to the PCB,
