VDO Pressure Sender - 80 PSI

The VDO Pressure Sender – 80 PSI (MPN 360-801) is a precision fluid pressure transducer designed for accurate real-time monitoring in mechanical and hydraulic systems. This sender converts fluid pressure into an electrical signal compatible with standard analog gauges and engine management systems, making it essential for diagnostic work, performance tuning, and system monitoring in both mobile and stationary applications.

Rated for a maximum pressure range of 80 PSI (5 bar), the sender operates across a 6–24V input range and delivers 240–33 ohm output scaling. The 1/8-27 NPTF thread accommodates standard metric and SAE pressure port configurations, while the 10-32 stud connection integrates directly into wiring harnesses without adapter complexity. Ground is standard configuration, simplifying installation in vehicles with conventional negative-ground electrical systems.

This sender is suitable for monitoring oil pressure, coolant pressure, transmission fluid pressure, and fuel pressure in automotive, marine, and off-road recovery applications. Technicians and operators rely on VDO senders for accurate baseline readings during troubleshooting, system validation after repair, and continuous monitoring during extended field operations. The compact form factor (0.3 lbs, 5 × 1 × 8 inches) allows installation in confined engine bays and tight utility compartments.

VDO is recognized as an OEM supplier across the automotive and marine sectors, and their pressure senders meet or exceed manufacturer specifications for replacement and aftermarket system builds. Sold as an individual unit, this sender pairs with compatible 80 PSI gauges and modern engine management systems that accept 240–33 ohm senders. The mid-range 80 PSI capacity covers most light-duty diesel and gasoline engines, making it a versatile choice for fleet maintenance and specialized diagnostics.
