XPC/XPCL Series and
XPXL Series
Compensated/Calibrated and
Uncompensated/Uncalibrated
Board Mount Pressure Sensors
DESCRIPTION
The XPC/XPCL Series and XPXL Series sensors integrate
silicon micromachined sensing technology, temperature
compensation, and calibration in a complete family of low-cost
packages. This series offers a cost-effective solution for design
requirements.
These piezoresistive pressure sensors use micromachined
silicon chips mounted on ceramic and protected with a plastic
cap. Several tube arrangements with nylon housings are
available for various pressure applications.
On devices of 5 psi and above, the top side of the chip is
protected against humidity by a Silgel® coating.
Although the sensors are designed for use with noncorrosive,
nonionic pressure media, they accommodate many gases that
are used in medical applications.
FEATURES
Low cost, small size
Temperature compensated
Zero and span calibrated
Millivolt output
Differential, gage and absolute pressure
Constant voltage excitation
High impedance - low current
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
Medical applications
Applications requiring small size
Applications requiring vacuum and positive pressure
reference or both
