NPC-1220-030A-3-L

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The NPC-1220-030A-3-L is a board-mount pressure sensor from the NPC-1220 series, manufactured by Amphenol Advanced Sensors (NovaSensor). It features a gauge pressure type with a working pressure of 30 PSI (206.84 kPa) and an overpressure limit of 90 PSI (620.53 kPa). The device utilizes a piezoresistive sensing element housed in an 8-DIP module package. It provides an analog output via a Wheatstone bridge, ranging from 0 mV to 50 mV. The sensor includes temperature compensation and operates within a range of -40°C to +125°C. It employs through-hole mounting with PC pin termination.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'L' corresponds to the required lead configuration and port orientation as defined in the official datasheet. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and ensure the supply chain source provides valid manufacturer documentation. Cross-reference the part number against the latest product change notifications to confirm material consistency and availability status prior to procurement.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, board-mount solution is required for gauge pressure applications up to 30 PSI. The 8-DIP package allows for standard through-hole assembly processes. Ensure the application environment remains within the -40°C to +125°C operational temperature range. Verify that the 50 mV output span is compatible with the downstream amplifier or ADC input requirements of the host system design.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

This part belongs to the NPC-1220 series of medium-pressure sensors, which utilize SenStable® technology. The series offers various pressure ranges and port configurations tailored for board-level integration. The NPC-1220-030A-3-L specifically denotes the 30 PSI gauge variant with axial barbless ports and down-facing leads, distinguishing it from absolute pressure or higher-range models within the same family.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 30 PSI gauge rating, 8-DIP package, and 0-50 mV output. Consider variants such as NPC-1220-030G-3-N for different port styles or NPC-1220-050G-3-L for higher pressure ratings. Verify that any substitute maintains the same temperature compensation characteristics and electrical interface compatibility.
