The NovaSensor NPC-1210 Series of Low/Medium Pressure Sensors provides a cost effective solution for applications that require calibrated performance over a wide temperature range. Packaged in a dual-in-line configuration, the NPC-1210 Series is intended for printed circuit board mounting. Optional pressure port and lead configurations provide superior flexibility in low profile applications where pressure connection orientation is critical.
The NPC-1210 series is based on NovaSensor’s advanced SenStable® piezoresistive sensing technology. Silicon micromachining techniques are used to ion implant piezoresistive strain gages into a Wheatstone bridge configuration. The NPC-1210 Series offers the added advantage of superior temperature performance over the temperature compensated range of 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F). A gain set resistor is included to normalize the FSO for field interchangeability.
