NPA Surface-Mount Pressure Sensors


 

The NovaSensor NPA Series features a high stability SenStable® piezoresistive MEMS chip placed in a stainless steel media-isolated package. Ideal for use in hostile environments, the modular design allows for a variety of pressure port modules that are hermetically welded to the sensor header. The sensors monitor pressure in industrial, medical and transportation applications by producing a voltage output that is linearly proportional to the input pressure.

Features:

  • Pressure ranges from 2” H2O (0.5 kPa) to 30 psi (200 kPa)
  • High stability and reliability Silicon MEMS chip with low long-term drift
  • Gauge, absolute and differential pressure variants
  • Up to 60 psi proof pressure
  • Rugged thermoplastic surface-mountable SOIC14 package
  • Dual barb, manifold and no-port versions available
  • Amplified Analog, Digital Serial (14-bit), Digital I2C, uncalibrated mV output options
  • Total Error Band: ±1.5% FSO**
  • Operating Temp: -40°C to 125°C (-40°F to 257°F)
  • Compensated Temp: 0°C to 60°C (+32°F to +157°F)
  • Excitation Voltage: 3.3 and 5 VDC
  • Custom transfer functions available

 

Applications:

  • Medical Equipment: CPAP, medical respirators, ventilators, spirometers, anesthesia machines
  • HVAC Systems: Air filter monitoring, room monitoring, duct measurements
  • Industrial Process Control: Factory automation, leak detection
  • Avionics: Altitude and airspeed measurements

**Total Error Band (TEB) comprises Offset, Full Scale Span, Non-Linearity, Hysteresis, Non-Repeatability, all Thermal effects. For 2” H2O, TEB is ±2.5% FSO
