AMPHENOL ADVANCED SENSORS NPH-8-030AH Pressure Sensor, Absolute, 0 kPa, 30 kPa, TO-8

NPH-8-030AH is a NPH series solid state low pressure sensor consist of an integrated circuit silicon sensor chip housed in a standard TO-8 electrical package. The latest techniques in micromatching have been used to ion-implant piezoresistive strain gauge into a wheatstone bridge configuration that is integrally formed on a micromachined silicon diaphragm. NPH series employs Senstable® processing technology providing excellent output stability. Constant current excitation to the sensor produces a voltage output that is linearly proportional to the input pressure. The user can provide standard signal conditioning circuitry to amplify the 100mV output signal. The sensor is compatible with most non-corrosive gases and dry air. Typical applications include process control, P-to -I converters, pneumatics control systems, HVAC controls, biomedical infusion pumps, sphygmomanometers, respirators, Aerospace: altimeters, barometers, cabin pressure sensors, computer peripherals.
