Throttle Position Sensor
Every Airtex component is designed and manufactured to the industry’s most stringent quality benchmarks, ensuring best-in-class product performance and reliability.
Our engineers often determine that matching original equipment fit, form and function simply isn’t good enough due to known performance and reliability issues. We then develop a highly advanced, “better-than-OE” solutions that will provide years of trouble-free performance. Here are two examples:
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
OE Design Failure: Cracks and voids worn into circuit boards, causing vehicle hesitation; broken solder joints leading to premature component failure
Airtex Design: Airtex engineers have developed two problem-solving TPS designs. The first, featured in Airtex contact-type TPS sensors, incorporates a flexible polyester board material, spring pressure clips and precision-matched conductive circuit board ink and contacts. Airtex now also offers sophisticated non-contact TPS sensors equipped with Hall Effect integrated circuitry.
Airtex Innovations: Airtex contact-type sensors offer 2X the life of units with OE circuit boards. They also eliminate failure-prone solder connections and offer excellent resistance to heat and vibration. Airtex non-contact sensors eliminate all mechanical and thermal wear issues associated with conventional designs.
