NPI-15A-3K0AV

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The NPI-15A-3K0AV is a sealed absolute pressure sensor from the NPI-15VC series by Amphenol Advanced Sensors. It features a cylindrical package with soft wire termination and panel mount application. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 10V to 15V, delivering an output of 0mV to 100mV at 10V excitation. It has a working pressure of 3000PSI (20684.27kPa) and a maximum pressure rating of 6000PSI (41368.54kPa). Accuracy is specified at ±0.35%, with temperature compensation provided across an operating range of -40°C to 125°C.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AV' against official datasheets to confirm sealed absolute gauge configuration versus other variants like 'SV'. Ensure supply voltage requirements align with system capabilities, as the device requires 10V to 15V excitation. Confirm environmental ratings match operational extremes, particularly the -40°C to 125°C range. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers to avoid confusion with similar high-pressure models in the NPI-15 series.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this component when sealed absolute pressure measurement is required rather than gauge or differential types. The high working pressure of 3000PSI makes it suitable for demanding industrial environments. Consider the cylindrical package and soft wire termination for integration into custom assemblies where standard connectors are not feasible. Verify that the ±0.35% accuracy meets system precision requirements.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

This model belongs to the NPI-15VC series, designed for high-pressure applications. It shares the cylindrical package and soft wire termination style with other variants in the line. The series typically offers temperature-compensated performance to ensure reliability across wide thermal ranges. Different suffixes indicate variations in pressure type and range within the same physical form factor.

Pressure Sensors Transducers FAQ

What is the difference between NPI-15A-3K0AV and NPI-15A-3K0SV?

The primary difference is the pressure reference type. The 'AV' suffix indicates a Sealed Absolute pressure sensor, measuring pressure relative to a vacuum. The 'SV' suffix denotes a Sealed Gauge pressure sensor, measuring pressure relative to atmospheric pressure.

Does the NPI-15A-3K0AV have a threaded port?

No, the NPI-15A-3K0AV features a no-port design with soft wire termination. It is intended for panel mounting and direct integration into systems where the sensing element is exposed to the medium via a diaphragm or similar interface, rather than through a threaded connection.
