Honeywell Basic Board Mount Pressure Sensors, TBP Series and NBP Series, are designed for food grade and non-food grade potential medical and industrial applications. These unamplified, piezoresistive silicon pressure sensors provide a ratiometric output and are either temperature compensated (TBP Series) or uncompensated (NBP Series).
TBP Series:
• Temperature compensated and unamplified.
• Compensation makes it easier to integrate the sensor into a system by minimizing the need to calibrate the system over temperature on a regular basis; offers reduced part-to-part variation.
• Offers multitude of resolutions of the pressure signal.
• Compensated temperature range is 0°C to 85°C [-32°F to 185°F].
These products are available in numerous package styles and mounting options, making it easier for device manufacturers to integrate the product into their applications. They are intended for use with non-corrosive, non-ionic gases, such as air and other dry gases, and for non-corrosive, non-ionic liquids when the silicone gel coating option is selected. All products are designed and manufactured according to ISO 9001 and are NSF certified. Specific configurations are food grade certified. Consult the factory for food grade options.
FEATURES
• Package size as small as 7 mm × 7 mm [0.276 in × 0.276 in]
• Operating temperature range -40°C to 125°C [-40°F to 257°F]
• Reflow mounting J-STD-020E, MSL 2 and rapid stabilization after reflow soldering allow calibration immediately after mounting
• Media compatibility options:
- No gel coating in media path: Input port is limited to noncorrosive, non-ionic media such as dry air and gases and should not be exposed to condensation; gases are limited to media that are compatible with high temperature polyamide, silicone, alumina ceramic, silicon, gold and glass
- Silicone gel coating in media path: Uses the same materials in the wetted media path but is protected from condensation by a silicone-based gel coating; allows for use in applications where condensation can occur
• For selective configurations, sensor materials have been tested and certified for these food safety standards (applies to specific configurations only):
- NSF-169
- BPA Free
- LFGB
APPLICATIONS
• Medical: Blood pressure monitoring, hospital beds, oxygen concentrators, wound therapy
• Industrial: Air movement control, environmental control, HVAC transmitters, industrial controls, leak detection, other commercial applications, pneumatic controls, food and beverage
VALUE TO CUSTOMERS
• Cost-competitive pressure sensing solution
• Smaller when compared to many similar products, occupying less space on the printed circuit board (PCB) and typically allowing for easier placement on PCBs or in small devices
• Performs in many tough environments with dry and wetted media
• Numerous options simplify integration into the device manufacturer's application
• Food Safety Certification for North America, Europe and Asia
