August 2016 – TTI, Inc., a world leading specialist distributor of electronic components, now stocks the recently extended NPA product line of low pressure surface-mount sensors from Amphenol Advanced Sensors. Utilizing the field-proven and popular NPA packaging platform, the NPA product line now covers the very low pressure ranges of 2” H2O (500Pa) and 5” H2O (1250Pa). With overall accuracy of 1.5%, the new devices benefit from an optimized silicon-micro machined pressure-sensing element giving them superior performance for particularly challenging applications, such as HVAC, respiratory monitoring and control, filter monitoring, as well as flow monitoring.
The miniature size NPA series low pressure sensors provide a cost effective solution for applications that require a calibrated performance. Packaged in a SOIC14 pin surface mount, the components are available in Gauge or Differential pressure ranges with either amplified analog or digital outputs. The total error band is +/- 1.5% Span at 5” H2O full scale and +/-2.5% Span at 2” H2O full scale.
The sensors have been designed for an operating temperature range from -40°C up to 125°C and are delivered in tape and reel format for simple manufacturing handling.
