Monday, October 18, 2010 Low-Cost TPMS
 TRW Automotive announced the launch of its LCCI (Low Cost Clamp-In) sensor for Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) applications in 2011 model year vehicles.
The new design, which TRW says results in significantly lowered costs for the system, features a valve that screws directly into the housing, allowing for a single housing with multiple valve design capability. This results in fewer parts and higher reliability than using a screw and nut, according to the company.
The new design also features laser welding of the cover to the housing, a compliant pin battery and valve connection, and a heat-resistant, long-life battery capable of operating within a range of -40 to 120 degrees Celsius.
