Description
The NPC-410 Series of solid state pressure sensors
are designed to provide a cost effective solution for
applications that require long-term stability and high
volume. Packaged in a dual-in-line configuration,
the NPC-410 Series is intended for printed circuit
board mounting. Optional pressure port and lead
configurations give superior flexibility in low profile
applications where pressure connection orientation
is critical.
The NPC-410 Series is based on NovaSensor’s ad-
vanced SenStable
®
piezoresistive sensing technol-
ogy. The latest techniques in silicon micromachining
have been used to ion implant piezoresistive strain
gages into a Wheatstone bridge configuration, which
is integrally formed on a micromachined diaphragm.
Constant current or constant voltage can be used
for sensor excitation. Offset and sensitivity tempera-
ture compensation and calibration can be achieved
by adding external resistors. Additionally, the NPC-
410 series is available in pressure ranges from 0 psi
to 5 psi (0 bar to 0.34 bar) through 0 psi to 100 psi
(0 bar to 7 bar). Please contact the NovaSensor for
other pressure ranges.

1. Tube length; L = 0.490, S=0.325, N = No tube.
2. Lead pins can be either be in the same or the opposite direction of the pressure tube. Option (1)
has the leads in the “Up” position, the same direction as the tube. Option (3) has the leads in the
“Down” position, the opposite direction of the tube.

Notes
1. Ambient temperature = 77°F (25°C), unless otherwise noted Supply cur-
rent = 1.5 mA.
2. External resistors can be added to reduce temperature errors and cali-
brate the offset and FSO.
3. Best fit straight line.
4. Temperature range 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C), reference to 77°F (25°C).
5. 3X or 200 psi (13.78 bar) maximum, whichever is less.
6. Exposed materials are pyrex, ceramic, silicon, epoxy, RTV and stainless
steel.
7. 5 psi (0.34 bar) specifications: Linearity: 0.25 ±%FSO.
