Pressure transducer manufacturer?

So this season our team has been looking into using a pressure sensor to tell us what pressure our robot is at. We found a nice and cheap transducer on ebay but we found no model number or manufacturer name on the link. We've seen some other transducers on digi key but they cost $60 more dollars then the cheaper one on ebay. I've seen some other threads talking about the cheaper one and recommending it. The sensor seems like a attractive option to us but we need some sort of manufacturer name to put on our BOM.

Re: Pressure transducer manufacturer?

We bought a few different ones to try. This one is accurate, light weight and cheap. We are using 2 of them on our bot this year.

Which range do you use, 200PSI?
How linear is that transducer? 50PSI/V from .5V-4.5V?

Do you happen to have a specs sheet for this transducer? I didn't seem to find one.
