The Honeywell NBP series of board-mount pressure sensors is now available from Aerco. Designed to provide a high resolution, high quality cost-effective sensor for medical and industrial applications, the sensors are ideal for users who want to provide their own compensation, calibration and amplification, says the company.
The NBP series measures absolute or gauge pressures. The absolute versions have an internal vacuum reference and an output value proportional to absolute pressure. The gauge versions are referenced to atmospheric pressure and provide an output proportional to pressure variations from atmosphere. These sensors are intended for use with non-corrosive, non-ionic gases, such as air and other dry gases and for non-corrosive, non-ionic liquids. All products are designed and manufactured according to ISO 9001.
Measuring only 7mm x 7mm, sensors in the NBP series are smaller than most board-mount pressure sensors and therefore are easier to place on densely-populated PCBs or in small devices. Highly durable, they are ideal for tough environments and have an operating temperature range from -40C to 125C They are available with either gel or non-gel coating and in numerous package styles, pressure ranges, housings and porting options and therefore provide a high degree of design flexibility allowing simple integration into many medical and industrial applications, says the company.
