Honeywell announced the release of the NBP Series of Basic Board Mount Pressure Sensors. These are a cost-effective, basic performance, mV output, unamplified, uncompensated, high quality and high resolution solution for customers seeking high-volume, economical board mount pressure sensors.
The NBP Series is suited for customers who want to do their own compensation, calibration, and amplification to make use of the maximum resolution of the bare sensor output, leveraging a custom algorithm required for their application.
The sensors can be used in a wide range of applications. Potential medical applications include pressure monitoring for wound therapy machines, hospital beds, oxygen concentrators, and blood pressure monitors. Potential industrial applications include HVAC transmitters, air movement control, environmental control, level indicators, leak detection, industrial control, and other commercial applications.
The NBP Series features a durable design that operates over the full temperature range of -40 to 150°C. Numerous packaging styles, pressure ranges, housings, gel coating, and porting help to meet specific application needs and simplify integration. The sensor’s compact package size (as small as 7x 7mm) is smaller than most competitive board mount pressure sensors, allowing for easy placement on crowded printed circuit boards or in small devices.
