  I'm looking for info on solid state pressure sensors (just an on/off type,
called ?).  Primarily,  what are the pressure differentials need to trigger 
them, and how 'fast' can they cycle through an off-on-off without 'flutter'.  
I need something as small as possible, that can also tolerate a warm enviroment
(~200F)
  Also, any possible sources for these ($?).

  Thanks for whatever help you might be able to give.  I have looked at the
available FAQs for robot sensors, but nothing was useful to this app...


 I am NOT speaking for Collins Commercial Avionics or Rockwell International.
                     Hell, I can barely spell them.
