P992-5-A

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The P992-5-A is a low-range differential pressure sensor manufactured by Sensata Technologies, Inc. It utilizes a silicon capacitive sensing element housed in a compact 4-DIP module package. The device operates with a 5 VDC input supply and provides an amplified analog voltage output ranging from 0.25 V to 4.0 V, which is proportional to the applied pressure. It features internal temperature compensation to ensure accuracy across its operating range. The sensor is designed for PCB mounting and supports a working pressure of 0.18 PSI (1.25 kPa).

Pressure Sensors Transducers Feature Summary

• Incorporates a silicon capacitive sensing element for precise measurement.
• Provides an amplified analog voltage output proportional to pressure changes.
• Includes internal temperature compensation for stable performance.
• Designed for direct printed circuit board (PCB) mounting.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Applications

• Low-pressure differential monitoring in HVAC systems.
• Filter status indication in fluid handling equipment.
• Airflow measurement in ventilation units.
• Leak detection systems requiring low-range sensitivity.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Sensata Technologies distributors or certified partners. Confirm that the received unit matches the P992-5-A designation and packaging specifications. Review the official datasheet for handling instructions regarding the delicate silicon capacitive element. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental regulations such as RoHS standards applicable to the manufacturing batch.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-range differential pressure measurement between 0 and 0.18 PSI is required. The 0.25 V to 4.0 V output signal is suitable for direct interfacing with standard analog-to-digital converters or microcontrollers. Consider the 4-DIP package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Internal temperature compensation eliminates the need for external calibration in many applications.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

The P992-5-A belongs to the Kavlico P992 series of low-range differential pressure sensors. This series is characterized by the use of silicon capacitive technology within a compact DIP module form factor. The product line is engineered for applications demanding reliable performance in measuring small pressure differentials in air or non-condensing gases.
