NovaSensor NPP-301 Series

Surface Mount Pressure Sensors

The NovaSensor NPP-301 Series features silicon pressure sensors in surface mount packages. An ultra-small Silicon Fusion Bonded (SFB), ultra-high stability SenStable® piezoresistive chip from NovaSensor is placed in a plastic package that exploits high volume, leadframe package technology to bring forth a low-cost sensor alternative to the OEM user.The NPP-301 Series produces a voltage output that is linearly proportional to the input pressure. The user can provide NPP Series products with signal conditioning circuitry to amplify the output signal or to maximize OEM value added. The NPP-301 Series is compatible with most non-corrosive gases and dry air.

  1. Ambient temperature = 77°F (25°C), unless otherwise noted. Supply current = 1.5 mA. Gauge and differential pressure devices are tested by applying pressure to the positive differential port (P2) and venting to atmosphere the reference port (P1).
  2. External resistors can be added to reduce temperature errors and calibrate the offset and FSO.
  3. Best fit straight line.
  4. Temperature range 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C), reference to 77°F (25°C).
  5. 3X or 200 psi (13.78 bar) maximum, whichever is less.
  6. Exposed materials are pyrex, ceramic, silicon, epoxy, RTV and stainless steel.
  7. 5 psi (0.34 bar) specifications: Linearity: 0.25 ±%FSO.
  8. Port 1 is limited to 60 PSIG for differential and absolute pressure sensors. Contact factory for 50 PSIA/D and 100 PSIA/D units.
