NovaSensor NPA Series: Versatile Pressure Sensors for PCB Mounting

NovaSensor NPA Series Surface-Mount Pressure Sensors are available in small sizes as a cost-effective alternative for applications requiring calibrated performance. Packaged in a SOIC14 pin surface mount, the NPA Series is offered in gauge, absolute, and differential pressure ranges with mV, amplified analog, or digital outputs. The sensor is designed for printed circuit board attachment and is offered in tape and reel format to simplify manufacturing handling.

Features

  • Mountable on the surface
  • Low, absolute, gauge, and differential pressure
  • 2” H2O to 30 PSI full scale
  • The available output options are Amplified Analog, Digital Serial (14 bit), Digital I2C, and Uncalibrated mV.
  • On-chip temperature sensor in digital mode
  • Temperature Range for Operation: –40 °C to 125 °C
  • Band of Total Error: < ±1.5% FSO
  • Proof Pressure: Up to 60 psi
