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 * Low noise * High impedance for low power applications 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 0C to 50C temperature range. This series is intended for use with non-corrosive, nonionic working fluids such as air, dry gases and the like. 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 Scale: 1 cm 1/2 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.

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.

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.
