GENERAL INFORMATION
Honeywell’s Basic Board Mount Pressure Sensors: NBP Series,
Uncompensated/Unamplied, and TBP Series, Compensated/
Unamplied, are piezoresistive silicon pressure sensors designed
for customers who require a simple, cost-effective, mV output,
unamplied, high quality, high resolution solution for medical and
industrial applications.
SOLDERING
See soldering times and temperatures in Table 1.
CAUTION
MEDIA INCOMPATIBILITY
•No gel coating option: The input port is limited to non-
corrosive, non-ionic media such as dry air and gases and
should not be exposed to condensation. The gases are
limited to media that are compatible with the following
wetted materials of construction: high temperature
polyamide, silicone, epoxy, alumina ceramic, silicon, gold,
and glass.
•Silicon gel coating option: The gel coated sensors use the
same materials in the wetted media path but are protected
from condensation by a silicone-based gel coating.
The gel coating option allows use in applications where
condensation can occur.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in
product damage.

3. Operating temperature range: The temperature range over which the sensor will produce an output proportional to pressure.
4. Compensated temperature range: The temperature range over which the sensor will produce an output proportional to pressure within
the specied performance limits.
