Application
From Concept to Creation
Learn about the various wearable sensors for consumer, medical and health, and defense applications.
With the growing expectation of being connected anytime and anywhere, wearable technology has evolved to be one of the largest growing industries. New opportunities in the market, such as the internet of things (IoT) and smart mobile devices, have accelerated the development of wearables since they provide many benefits to users. From consumer wearables that aid in a healthier lifestyle to medical wearables that help determine a patient’s vital signs, sensing components help bring these wearable technologies to life offering users a sense of safety, productivity and health incentives. As the wearable industry continues to advance, the need for more accurate, compact and reliable sensing technologies becomes necessary for proper long-term functionality in wearables. Our leading sensor products that are used within this technology include:
Humidity Sensors
We manufacture a complete range of calibrated and amplified sensor products that measure relative humidity (RH). Based on our robust capacitive technology, these humidity sensors provide accurate measurement of dew point and absolute humidity by combining relative humidity (RH) and temperature (T) measurements. Links direct to websites for TE's newly acquired product families.
Position Sensors
We design and manufacture Anisotropic Magneto-Resistive (AMR) position sensors that are precise and contact-less devices that measure the changes in the angle of a magnetic field as seen by the sensor. Our magnetic sensors offer robust non-contact position measurements in harsh environments. Links direct to websites for TE's newly acquired product families.
Piezo Film Sensors
Our piezoelectric material can detect breathing, pulse and body movement for sleep and fitness monitoring, as well as forming the sensing element for musical instrument pick-ups, tablet and smartphone digitizers and security applications.

Force Sensors
Our broad range of packaged load cells feature MEMS silicon strain gages enabling OEM's to measure force with low cost and high reliability. The gages produce a high level of output signal for a low operating stain using inorganic materials to offer long term stability. Links direct to websites for TE's newly acquired product families.
Temperature Sensors
TE offers a wide range of contact and non-contact temperature sensors from sensing elements of various technologies to added value probes. Used for control and compensation, our wide selection of temperature products helps to meet the specific demands of temperature sensing in consumer applications.
