GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XPC/XPCL and XPX/XPXL Series sensors integrate silicon
micromachined sensing technology, temperature compensation, and
calibration in a complete family of low cost packages. This series offers the
most cost-effective solution for design requirements.
These piezoresistive pressure sensors use micromachined silicon chips
mounted on a 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 topside of the chip is protected against
humidity by a Silgel coating. While the sensors are designed for use with
noncorrosive, nonionic pressure media, they accommodate many gases that
are used in medical applications.
