Pressure Sensors

Honeywell offers a wide range of reliable pressure sensors for printed circuit board mounting for gaseous and liquid media. With a wide range of connectivity options, outputs, accuracy classes and print areas, a suitable pressure sensor series is available for nearly every application.

For quick orientation, here are some excerpts of the Boardmount Pressure Sensors overview.

TruStability™

– RSC Series (High Resolution, High Accuracy, Compensated/Amplified)
– HSC Series (Compensated/Amplified)
– SSC Series (Compensated/Amplified)
– TSC Series (Compensated/Unamplified)
– NSC Series (Uncompensated/Unamplified)

RSC (High Resolution – High Accuracy Silicon Ceramic) Serie

• High 24-bit resolution; analog-to-digital converter with integrated EEPROM
• Extremely tight Total Error Band, as low as ±0.25 %FSS depending on pressure range (after auto zero),
  due to Honeywell’s patented sense die design, in-house compensation, calibration, and mechanical package design
• Extremely tight accuracy of ±0.1 %FSS BFSL (low power consumption, less than 10 mW, typ.)
• Virtually insensitive to mounting orientation (±0.1 %FSS or ±0.2 %FSS, depending on pressure range)
  due to Honeywell’s patented sense die design
• Port 1 can be exposed to non-corrosive, non-ionic liquids when the liquid media option is selected

HSC (High Accuracy Silicon Ceramic) Serie

• Extremely tight Total Error Band due to Honeywell’s patented sense die design,
  in-house compensation and calibration, and mechanical package design:
  – ±3 %FSS for 2 inH2O span
  – ±1.5 %FSS for 3 inH2O to 5 inH2O span
  – ±1 %FSS above 5 inH2O span
• Virtually insensitive to mounting orientation (<0.15 %FSS) and very low vibration
  sensitivity due to Honeywell’s patented sense die design
• High resolution (min. 0.03 %FSS analog, 12-bits digital) due to the use of sensors
  specifically designed for ultra-low pressures, not just amplifying higher range sensors
• Port 1 can be exposed to non-corrosive, non-ionic liquids when the liquid media option is selected
• Extremely tight accuracy of ±0.25 %FSS BFSL: inherently a linear sense die design/diaphragm

SSC (Standard Silicon Ceramic) Serie

• Compensated unamplified for those customers that require temperature compensation
  but want to do their own amplification
• Back-side sensing allows for wet capability on one port; port 1 can be exposed to non-corrosive, non-ionic liquids
• For use with water (wet on one side)
• Ease of installation
• Many housing/port styles

TSC Series

• Compensated unamplified for those customers that require
  temperature compensation but want to do their own amplification
• Back-side sensing allows for wet capability on one port; port 1 can be exposed to non-corrosive, non-ionic liquids
• For use with water (wet on one side)
• Ease of installation
• Many housing/port styles

NSC Series

• Uncompensated uncalibrated for those customers
  who want to do their own compensation, calibration, and amplification
• Back-side sensing allows for wet capability on one port: port 1 can be exposed to non-corrosive, non-ionic liquids
• For use with water (wet on one side)
• Ease of installation
• Many housing and port styles

ABP2 Series

• Amplified and compensated, analog or digital output, single or
  dual ports, small package
• Cost: Select the ABP Series if cost is a major concern and some
  sensor performance can be de-rated. The ABP series has fewer
  porting and housing options than the HSC Series and SSC
  Series

TBP Series

• Unamplified and uncompensated, analog output
• Cost: Select the TBP Series if cost is a major concern and
  some sensor performance can be de-rated. The TBP series has
  fewer porting and housing options but does come in a smaller
  package.

NBP Series

• Unamplified and uncompensated, analog output
• Back-side sensing allows for wet capability on one port: port 1
  can be exposed to non-corrosive, non-ionic liquids
• Cost: Select the NBP Series if, and only if, the application
  cannot be met with the other sensors noted above due to cost
  considerations
