Packaged in a dual-in-line configuration, the NPC-1210 Series is intended for printed circuit board mounting. Optional pressure port and lead configurations provide superior flexibility in low profile applications where pressure connection orientation is critical. + A2 - - R 1.5 mA 4 +In 5 Gain Set 6 +Out I 100 kW 3.012V Amplified FSO 100 kW 3 R A3 + + -In The NPC-1210 series is based on NovaSensor’s advanced SenStable® piezoresistive sensing technology. Silicon micromachining techniques are used to ion implant piezoresistive strain gages into a Wheatstone bridge configuration. The NPC-1210 Series offers the added advantage of superior temperature performance over the temperature compensated range of 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F). A gain set resistor is included to normalize the FSO for field interchangeability. 7 8 2 NC NC Lead 1 2 3 4 5,6 7,8 Ground Connection -Out -In +Out +In Gain-Set Resistor No Connection NPC-1210 Series Schematic Diagram 0.60 in (15.24 mm) 0.1 in (2.54 mm) 0.15 in (3.8 mm) 8 7 6 5 0.6 in (15.24 mm G6 0.2 in (5.1 mm) 0.32 in (8.1 mm) 1 2 3 4 0.12 in (3.05 mm) 0.37 in (9.4 mm) Used for positive differential L, S (See Notes) Not used for absolute 0.167 in (4.2mm) Diameter 0.127 in (3.23 mm), Two tubes Not used for gauge Ceramic substrate (1) 8X 0.07 in (1.78mm) 8X 0.34 in (8.6 mm) (3) 8X 0.02 in (0.51 mm) 1.
