PRESSURENPP-301 Series SurfaceMount Pressure SensorGE’s NovaSensor low cost surface mount SO-8 packagesuitable for automated assemblyPRESSURE82Product OverviewThe NPP-301 Series features silicon pressure sensors insurface mount packages. An ultra-small Silicon FusionBonded (SFB), ultra-high stability SenStable ® piezoresistivechip from GE is placed in a plastic package that exploits highvolume, leadframe package technology to bring forth a lowcost sensor alternative to the OEM user.The NPP-301 Series produces a voltage output that islinearly proportional to the input pressure. The user canprovide NPP Series products with signal conditioning circuitryto amplify the output signal or to maximize OEM valueadded. The NPP-301 Series is compatible with most noncorrosivegases and dry air.ApplicationsAutomotive tire pressurePneumatic controlsPressure switches and controllersAltimeters and barometersCable leak detectionConsumer appliancesPortable gauges and manometersFeatures & BenefitsLow cost surface mount package: SO-8Wide operating temperature range: -40°F to 257°F(–40°C to 125°C)Static accuracy
