NPA Surface-Mount Pressure Sensors
The NovaSensor NPA Series features a high stability SenStable® piezoresistive MEMS chip placed in a SOIC 14-pin miniature thermoplastic package, and is intended for printed circuit board mounting. The sensor monitors pressure in industrial and medical 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
