CAS meets the demanding expectations of the automotive industry. Sensors & Controls CAS is a capacitive–based sensor that provides a linear output voltage directly proportional to acceleration input. Integral signal conditioning electronics incorporate a custom designed integrated circuit and provide an accurate, stable signal over a wide operating temperature range (-40° to 85°C). Typical Applications

•	Semi–active suspension systems
•	Anti–roll chassis control
•	Vehicle stability control
•	Anti–lock brake systems
•	Traction control systems
•	OBDII rough road detection
•	Inclination sensing
