## NPC-1210 Series Specifications 

## **Description** 

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 provide superior flexibility in low profile applications where pressure connection orientation is critical. 

The NPC-1210 series is based on NovaSensor’s advanced SenStable[®] piezoresistive sensing technology. Silicon micromachining techniques are used to ion implant piezoresistive strain gages into a Wheatstone bridge configuration. The NPC1210 Series offers the added advantage of superior temperature performance over the temperature compensated range of 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F). A gain set resistor is included to normalize the FSO for field interchangeability.

_1. All dimensions are for reference only._ 

_2. Tube length: L = 0.49 in (12 mm), S = 0.33 in (8.3 mm), N = No tube_ 

_3. Lead pins can be either in the same or the opposite direction of the pressure  tube. Option (1) has the leads in the "Up" position, the same direction as the tube. Option (3) has the leads in the "Down" position, the opposite direction from the tube._ 

_4. Gauge and differential pressure devices are calibrated by applying pressure to the positive differential port (P2) and venting to atmosphere the reference port (P1).  Absolute pressure devices use only P1 to apply vacuum or pressure._
