Overview

The NPP-301B-200A is a surface-mount absolute pressure sensor designed for high-precision measurements up to 30 PSI (206.84 kPa). It utilizes a silicon micromachined Wheatstone bridge configuration housed in a standard SO-8 package with a dual-port tube interface. This sensor provides a linear millivolt output proportional to input pressure, operating reliably with supply voltages between 3V and 10V.

Why Choose This Part

The NPP-301B-200A offers a high accuracy rating of +/-0.2 percent, ensuring precision in demanding board-mount applications. Its SO-8 surface-mount package is optimized for automated high-volume assembly, while the dual 0.08 inch tube ports allow for secure mechanical connection to pressure lines.

Applications

Industrial Pneumatics
Monitoring pressure in automated manufacturing equipment and pneumatic control systems where absolute pressure reference is required.
Medical Instrumentation
Integration into portable diagnostic devices and patient monitoring systems that require small form-factor pressure sensing.
Environmental Monitoring
Barometric pressure measurement and altitude sensing in stationary or mobile data logging equipment.

Getting Started

To interface with this sensor, use a high-resolution differential ADC or an instrumentation amplifier to amplify the 0 mV to 60 mV Wheatstone bridge output. Ensure the excitation voltage remains stable between 3V and 10V to maintain measurement consistency. Prototyping can be performed by soldering the SOIC-8 package to a standard breakout board and connecting 2.04mm ID tubing to the ports.
