NovaSensor NPH Series Solid State Medium Pressure Sensors

NovaSensor, a division of Amphenol Advanced Sensors, NPH Series of Solid-State Low-Pressure Sensors consist of an integrated circuit silicon sensor chip housed in a standard TO-8 electrical package that is printed circuit board mountable. The user can provide standard signal conditioning circuitry to amplify the 100-mV output signal, with a very low offset of <2mV. The sensor is compatible with most non-corrosive gases and dry air. A laser-trimmed, thick-film resistor network on a hybrid ceramic substrate provides temperature compensation.
