NPA-600B-015G

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The NPA-600B-015G is a board-mount pressure sensor from the Amphenol NovaSensor NPA-600 series. It features a gauge pressure type with a working pressure of 15 PSI (103.42 kPa) and a maximum pressure of 60 PSI (413.69 kPa). The device utilizes ZACwire™ digital output with a 14-bit resolution. It operates on a supply voltage of 4.75 V to 5.25 V, has an accuracy of ±1.5%, and includes temperature compensation. The sensor uses dual barbed ports (0.12 inch/3 mm) and is housed in a 14-SOIC package with top port configuration.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Feature Summary

• Integrated ZACwire™ digital interface providing calibrated and temperature-compensated output signals directly from the sensor die.
• Surface-mount SOIC-14 package design optimized for automated PCB assembly and space-constrained applications.
• Dual barbed port configuration facilitating direct tubing connection for gas pressure measurement without additional fittings.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Applications

• Medical respiratory equipment such as CPAP and ventilators
• Industrial HVAC airflow monitoring and control systems
• Anesthesia machines and medical gas delivery devices

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'B' indicates the analog/digital output variant and 'G' denotes gauge pressure reference against the official datasheet. Confirm the 14-SOIC package orientation and pinout match the target PCB footprint. Ensure supply voltage requirements align with the 4.75V to 5.25V specification before integration.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this model for low-pressure gas sensing applications requiring high accuracy and digital output. Compare with NPA-600M variants if absolute pressure referencing is needed instead of gauge. Consider the NPA-700 series if I2C interface compatibility is required rather than the proprietary ZACwire protocol.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

This component belongs to the Amphenol NovaSensor NPA family, designed for low-pressure industrial and medical use. It replaces older analog sensors by integrating signal conditioning and ADC capabilities into a compact surface-mount form factor, simplifying system design and reducing calibration needs.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Replacement Considerations

NPA-600M-015G offers similar physical dimensions but measures absolute pressure rather than gauge pressure. NPA-730B-015A provides I2C digital output instead of ZACwire, requiring different software drivers despite similar pressure ranges.
