Lucas NovaSensor NPC-1210 Series Solid State Pressure Sensor Low-Medium Pressure The NPC-1210 series of solid state pressure sensors are designed to provide a cost effective solution for applications that require calibrated performance over a wide temperature range. Packaged in a dual-in-line configuration, the NPC-1210 series is intended for printed circuit board mounting. Optional pressure port and lead configurations give superior flexibility in low profile applications where pressure connection orientation is critical. The NPC-1210 series is based on Lucas NovaSensor(R)'s advanced SenStable(R) piezoresistive sensing technology. Silicon micromachining techniques are used to ion implant piezoresistive strain gages into a Wheatstone bridge configuration. The NPC-1210 offers the added advantage of superior temperature performance over the temperature compensated range of 0C to +60C. A gain set resistor is included to normalize the FSO for field interchangeability. Additionally, the NPC-1210 series is available in pressure ranges from 0 to 5 through 0 to 100 psi. Please contact the factory for other pressure ranges.
