SENSORTECHNICS SDX005IND4

SDX...IND4 Series
Compensated pressure sensors in DIP package
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
· 0...5 and 0...10 "H2O
· Low cost DIP
· Temperature compensated
· Calibrated zero and span
· Small size
The SDX...IND4 sensors will provide
a very cost effective solution for
pressure applications that require
small size plus performance. These
calibrated and temperature compensated sensors give an accurate and
stable output over a 0 to 50°C temperature range. This series is intended for use with non-corrosive, nonionic working fluids such as air, dry
gases and the like.
· Low noise
· High impedance for
low power applications
The SDX...IND4 devices are specifically designed to measure low
pressures. They feature a 0 to 5 or
0 to 10 "H2O full scale range.
The output of the bridge is ratiometric
to the supply voltage and operation
from any D.C. supply voltage up to
+20 V is acceptable.
APPLICATIONS
· Medical equipment
The SDX...IND4 devices feature an
integrated circuit sensor element and
laser trimmed thick film ceramic
housed in a compact solvent resistant
case. The package is a double wide
(i.e., 0.600" lead spacing) dual-inlinepackage. This is the same familiar
package used by IC manufacturers
except that is has a pressure port(s).
· Computer peripherals
· Pneumatic controls
· HVAC
EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT
1 cm
½ inch
The PC board area used by each DIP
is approximately 0.26 square inches.
This extremely small size enables the
use of multiple sensors in limited
available space. The DIP provides
excellent corrosion resistance and
isolation to external package stress.
The DIP mounts on a PC board like a
standard IC with through-hole pins.
The pins anchor the pressure sensor
to the PC board and provide a more
secure and stable unit than other
types of packages.

Specification notes:
1. Reference conditions (unless otherwise noted): supply voltage, VS = 12VDC; TA = 25°C; common mode line pressure = 0 psig;
pressure applied to port 2.
2. Span is the algebraic difference between the output voltage at full scale pressure and the output at zero pressure. Span is ratiometric
to the supply voltage.
3. Hysteresis is the maximum output difference at any point within the operating pressure range for increasing and decreasing pressure.
4. Maximum error band of the offset voltage and the error band of the span, relative to the 25°C regarding.
5. Difference in output at any pressure with the operating pressure range and temperature within 0°C to +50°C after:
a) 100 temperature cycles, 0°C to +50°C.
b) 1.0 million pressure cycles, 0 psi to full scale span.
6. Input impedance is the impedance between VS and ground.
7. Output impedance is the impedance between the + and - outputs.
8. This is the common mode voltage of the output arms for VS = 12 VDC.
9. Response time for a 0 psi to full scale span pressure step change, 10 % to 90 % rise time.
10. Long term stability over a one year period.

GENERAL DISCUSSION
The SDX...IND4 series devices give a voltage output which is directly proportional to applied pressure. The gage
devices will give an increasing positive going output when increasing pressure is applied to the pressure port. The
devices are ratiometric to the supply voltage and changes in the supply voltage will cause proportional changes in
the offset voltage and full scale span.

PNEUMATIC INTERFACE
The DIP also provides convenient mounting and pressure ports for ease of use with standard 1/16" ID, 1/8" OD,
1/32" wall, flexible plastic tubing for pressure connection.
The small tubing has several advantages over larger tubing commonly used with pressure sensors:
1) The tubing can be formed in a much smaller radius with-out kinking.
2) The tubing is easier to handle.
3) The tubing is available in a variety of colors such as clear, white, yellow, blue, green, etc. to enable color coding
of pneumatic circuits with multiple pressure sensors in the same way that wiring harnesses are color coded in
electrical circuits. This greatly simplifies troubleshooting.
4) Less stress is placed on the pressure sensor package resulting in less potential for offset shifts.
5) Less physical space is required for the small tubing.
6) The lower volume of air in the small tubing results in faster pressure sensor response.
USER CALIBRATION
The SDX...IND4 devices are fully calibrated for offset and span and should therefore require little user adjustment
in most applications. For more precise span and offset adjustments, contact the factory.
MEDIA COMPATIBILITY
SDX...IND4 devices are compatible with most non-corrosive gases. For questions concerning media compatibility,
contact the factory.
