A specially designed silicon micromachined sensing element is used to meet or exceed all industry requirements while minimizing assembly and test cost for maximum customer value. Thick-film laser-trimming is employed for final compensation and calibration. Sensitivity is maintained to 1% and linearity is better than 1% in the physiological operating pressure range. The NPC-100 and NPC-120 Series are batchmanufactured in ceramic plate form and shipped as an intact array or in Tape and Reel for easy customer automation. This assembly method draws from wellestablished manufacturing techniques used in the electronics industry in order to produce a quality, high volume product. 0.236 in to 0.246 in (5.99 mm to 6.25 mm) 0.0875 in to 0.0905 in (2.22 mm to 2.30 mm) 0.049 in to 0.052 in (1.24 mm to 1.32 mm) 0.393 in to 0.397 in (9.98 mm to 10.08 mm) 0.189 in to 0.192 in (4.80 mm to 4.88 mm) Radius 0.005 in (0.13 mm) maximum 0.142 in to 0.145 in (3.61 mm to 3.68 mm) Material is clear Polycarbonate. 0.282 in to 0.290 in (7.16 mm to 7.37 mm) NPC-100 Series pressure sensor port interface 0.236 in to 0.246 in (5.99 mm to 6.25 mm) 0.0875 in to 0.0905 in (2.22 mm to 2.30 mm) Parameter Minimum Type Maximum 0.142 in to 0.145 in (3.61 mm to 3.68 mm) 0.282 in to 0.290 in (7.16 mm to 7.37 mm) NPC-120 Series pressure sensor port interface Notes Offset mmHg -20 0 20 Sensitivity V/V/mmHg 4.95 5 5.05 Calibration mmHg 97.5 100 102.5 Symmetry % -- -- 5 Linearity (-30 to 100 mmHg) mmHg -- -- 1 6 Linearity (100 to 200 mmHg) % output -- -- 1 6 Linearity (200 to 300 mmHg) % output -- -- 1.5 6 Thermal Coefficient Offset mmHg/C -- -- 0.3 3 Thermal Coefficient Span %/C -- -- 0.1 3 Frequency Response Hz 1200 -- -- 5 Phase Shift degrees -- -- 5 5 Offset Drift mmHg/8 hrs -- -- 1 4,5 Performance Parameters* 2 * 1.
