V49720011 Sensor

V49720011 Sensor

The V49720011 Sensor is a high‑precision crankshaft pulse generator designed for automotive engine management systems. It delivers accurate rotational speed and position signals to the engine control unit (ECU), enabling optimal fuel injection, ignition timing, and overall engine performance.

Key Functionalities

• Crankshaft Position Detection: Generates a reliable pulse signal each time the crankshaft completes a full rotation or reaches a specific reference point. This information is critical for synchronizing fuel and ignition events.
• High Accuracy: Built with precision components to ensure minimal error in rotational speed measurement, even under high engine loads and temperatures.
• Robust Signal Output: Provides a clean digital output compatible with most modern ECUs. The signal is immune to electrical noise commonly found in automotive environments.
• Compact Design: Small footprint allows easy integration into tight engine bay spaces without compromising airflow or cooling.
