NPC-1220-100A-3-L

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The NPC-1220-100A-3-L is a board-mount pressure sensor from the NovaSensor NPC-1220 series, manufactured by Amphenol Advanced Sensors. It features an absolute pressure type with a working pressure of 100 psi (689.48 kPa) and high accuracy of 0.1%. The device utilizes a through-hole installation style in an 8-DIP package with dual axial barbless ports. It provides an analog voltage output ranging from 0 mV to 50 mV, powered by a supply voltage up to 50 mV (likely indicating sensitivity or specific bias context, though standard operation implies external excitation). Operating temperature range spans from -40°C to +125°C.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Feature Summary

• High precision measurement capability with 0.1% accuracy for critical applications
• Robust construction suitable for harsh environments with extended temperature tolerance
• Integrated temperature compensation ensures stable performance across operating ranges

Pressure Sensors Transducers Applications

• Medical gas delivery systems requiring precise absolute pressure monitoring
• Industrial automation equipment needing reliable low-level signal detection
• HVAC control units utilizing differential or absolute pressure feedback

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' against official datasheets to confirm port length variations or lead configurations, as these often dictate mechanical fit. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts regarding DIP-8 footprint dimensions. Confirm that the 0-50mV output aligns with downstream amplifier input requirements without additional signal conditioning stages.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this component when high accuracy is paramount over cost, given its 0.1% specification compared to standard variants. The absolute pressure sensing mode distinguishes it from gauge or differential models within the same series. Consider the through-hole mounting requirement if surface mount alternatives are insufficient for mechanical stability or thermal dissipation needs in the target assembly.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

This part belongs to the NPC-1220 family of ceramic plate pressure sensors designed for board mounting. Unlike the NPA series which often uses SOIC packages, the NPC-1220 utilizes a DIP configuration, offering different mechanical integration options. It represents a specialized segment focusing on high-accuracy industrial and medical applications where long-term stability and robustness are prioritized over miniaturization.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other NPC-1220 variants with matching pressure ratings but different port styles or accuracies. Cross-reference with NPA series parts only if package adaptation is feasible, noting significant differences in output characteristics and mounting types.
