TruStability Board Mount
Pressure Sensors:
SSC Series–Standard
Accuracy
®
DESCRIPTION
®
The TruStability Standard Accuracy Silicon Ceramic (SSC)
Series is a piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor offering a
digital output for reading pressure over the specified full scale
pressure span and temperature range.
The SSC Series is fully calibrated and temperature
compensated for sensor offset, sensitivity, temperature effects,
and non-linearity using an on-board Application Specific
Integrated Circuit (ASIC). Calibrated output values for pressure
are updated at approximately 2 kHz.
The SSC Series is calibrated over the temperature range of
-20 °C to 85 °C [-4 °F to 185 °F]. The sensor is characterized
for operation from a single power supply of either 3.3 Vdc or
5.0 Vdc.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
(=competitive
differentiator)
Proprietary Honeywell technology:
Combines high
sensitivity with high overpressure and burst pressure—two
performance factors that are difficult to achieve in the
same product; this gives the customer more flexibility in
sensor implementation and reduces the customer design
requirements for protecting the sensor without sacrificing
the ability to sense very small changes in pressure
Industry-leading long-term stability:
Even after long-
term use and thermal extremes, these sensors perform
substantially better relative to stability than any other
pressure sensor available in the industry today:
Minimizes system calibration needs
Maximizes system performance
Helps support system uptime by eliminating the need to
service or replace the sensor during its application life
These sensors measure differential and gage pressures.
Differential versions allow application of pressure to either side
of the sensing diaphragm. Gage versions are referenced to
atmospheric pressure and provide an output proportional to
pressure variations from atmosphere.
The SSC Series sensors are intended for use with non-
corrosive, non-ionic working fluids. They are designed and
manufactured according to standards in ISO 9001.
Industry-leading Total Error Band (TEB):
Honeywell
specifies TEB—the most comprehensive, clear, and
meaningful measurement—that provides the sensor’s true
accuracy over a compensated range of -20 °C to 85 °C
[-4 °F to 185 °F].
Eliminates individually testing and calibrating every
sensor, which can increase their manufacturing time
and process
Supports system accuracy and warranty requirements
Helps to optimize system uptime
Provides excellent sensor interchangeability—there is
minimal part-to-part variation in accuracy
Industry-leading accuracy:
Extremely tight accuracy of
±0.25 %FSS BFSL (Full Scale Span Best Fit Straight
Line):
Reduces software needs to correct system
inaccuracies, minimizing system design time
Supports system accuracy and warranty requirements
Helps to optimize system uptime
High burst pressures above 415 inH

Level 1 requirements:
Allows the customer to avoid the thermal and
mechanical damage during solder reflow attachment
and/or repair that lesser rated products would incur
Allows unlimited floor life when stored as specified
(<30 ºC/85 %RH), simplifying storage and reducing
scrap
Insensitive to mounting orientation:
Allows customers to position the sensor in the most
optimal point in the system, eliminating the concern for
positional effects
Increases flexibility of use within the application
Insensitive to vibration:
Reduces susceptibility to
application-specific vibration that occurs with changes in
pressure, minimizing inaccurate pressure readings
Custom calibration:
Typically allows for the removal of
additional components associated with signal conditioning
from the PCB, reducing PCB size as well as costs often
associated with those components (e.g., acquisition,
inventory, assembly)
Internal diagnostic functions:
Increases system
reliability
Energy efficient:
Extremely low power consumption (less
than 10 mW, typ.):
Reduces power consumption
Provides extended battery life
Promotes energy efficiency

1. Absolute maximum ratings are the extreme limits the device can withstand without damage to the product. Stresses above these ratings may
cause permanent damage. Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods may degrade device reliability.
2. Ratiometricity of the sensor (the ability of the digital device to maintain performance parameters independent of supply voltage) is achieved
when the supply voltage is within the operating specification range.
3. The sensor is not reverse polarity protected. Incorrect application of supply voltage or ground to the wrong pin may cause electrical failure.
4. The compensated temperature range is the temperature range over which the sensor will produce an output proportional to pressure within the
specified performance limits.
5. The operating temperature range is the temperature range over which the sensor will produce an output proportional to pressure but may not
remain within the specified performance limits.
6. Accuracy: The maximum deviation in output from a Best Fit Straight Line (BFSL) fitted to the output measured over the pressure range at
25 °C [77 °F]. Includes all errors due to pressure non-linearity, pressure hysteresis, and non-repeatability. (See Figure 3.)
7. Orientation sensitivity: The maximum change in offset of the sensor due to a change in position or orientation relative to Earth’s gravitational
field.
8. Full Scale Span (FSS): The algebraic difference between the output signal measured at the maximum (Pmax.) and minimum (Pmin.) limits of
the pressure range. (See Figure 1 for ranges.)
9. Life may vary depending on specific application in which sensor is utilized. Contact Honeywell Sales and Service for Mean Time to Failure
(MTTF) data.
10. Working Pressure: The maximum pressure that may be applied to any port of the sensor in continuous use. This pressure may be outside the
operating pressure range limits (Pmin. to Pmax.) in which case the sensor may not provide a valid output until pressure is returned to within the
operating pressure range. Tested to 1 million cycles, min. (See Figure 5.)

CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE
·
Ensure liquid media is applied to Port 1 only; Port 2 is
not compatible with liquids.
·
Ensure liquid media contains no particulates. All
TruStability
®
sensors are dead-ended devices.
Particulates can accumulate inside the sensor, causing
damage or affecting sensor output.
·
Recommend that the sensor be positioned with Port 1
facing downwards; any particulates in the system are
less likely to enter and settle within the pressure sensor
if it is in this position.
·
Ensure liquid media does not create a residue when
dried; build-up inside the sensor may affect sensor
output. Rinsing of a dead-ended sensor is difficult and
has limited effectiveness for removing residue.

·
Ensure liquid media are compatible with wetted
materials. Non-compatible liquid media will degrade
sensor performance and may lead to sensor failure.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in
product damage.
