NPA
Surface-Mount
Pressure Sensor Series
The NPA product series is provided in a
miniature size as a cost effective solution
for applications that require calibrated
performance. Packaged in a SOIC14 pin
surface mount, the NPA Series is available
in Gauge, Absolute or Differential pressure
ranges with either mV, amplified analog or
digital outputs. The sensor is intended for
printed circuit board mounting and delivered
in tape and reel form to simplify manufacturing
handling.
Features
