NPI-15B-500AV

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The NPI-15B-500AV is an absolute pressure sensor from the NPI-15VC series, designed for high-pressure static measurement. It features a cylindrical package with a male 1/2" (12.7mm) UNF port and soft wire termination. The device operates on a 10V to 15V supply voltage and provides a Wheatstone bridge output ranging from 0mV to 100mV. With a working pressure of 500PSI (3447.38kPa) and a maximum pressure of 1000PSI (6894.76kPa), it offers ±0.35% accuracy. The sensor is temperature compensated and functions within a range of -40°C to 125°C.

• Wheatstone bridge analog output interface
• Cylindrical package with soft wire termination

Pressure Sensors Transducers Applications

• Hydraulic systems monitoring
• Industrial process control
• Fluid power applications

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific supply voltage requirements against the application design, as the sensor requires a 10V to 15V input. Confirm that the 1/2" UNF port size matches the system connection interface. Ensure the signal conditioning circuitry can handle the low-level Wheatstone bridge output without excessive noise interference. Check lead times as this item is often supplied on order.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this component when high static pressure measurement is required in a compact cylindrical form factor. The NPI-15B-500AV is suitable for environments where standard PCB-mounted sensors cannot withstand the pressure levels. Consider the need for external signal amplification due to the millivolt-level output. Verify compatibility with the operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C for the intended environment.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

This part belongs to the NPI-15VC series of high-pressure absolute sensors from Amphenol NovaSensor. The series utilizes MEMS technology housed in a robust cylindrical package. The 'B' designation typically indicates the pressure range and port configuration, while 'AV' specifies the output type and voltage characteristics. This series is distinct from the lower-pressure NPA and NPC lines.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include other pressure ratings such as NPI-15B-1000AV or NPI-15B-300AV, provided the pressure range meets the application needs. Cross-series replacements like the NPI-19 series may be considered if different port styles are acceptable, but electrical parameters must be verified.
