About this manual

The 3145A and 3145AG are compact, titanium‑alloy accelerometers with a hermetically sealed, all‑welded construction. They mount via a 5‑40 integral stud and use a 5‑44 coaxial top‑mounted connector. Recommended installation torque is 10 oz‑in and the suggested adhesive for the 3145AG version is cyanoacrylate instant bond.

The devices provide a sensitivity of 100 mV/G, a frequency range of 0.5 to 10 kHz, and a resonant frequency of 45 kHz. Electrical characteristics include a supply voltage range of 2‑20 V (or 18‑30 V), 100 Ω output impedance, and a +9 V bias voltage. They operate from –60 °C to +300 °C and can withstand up to 600 g/3000 g shock peaks.
