Honeywell Basic Board Mount Pressure Sensors ABP Series_Group

NEW IN NEWS: PRODUCT OF THE MONTH

Each month, we introduce you to a selected product that deserves special mention.

Product of the month January 2018: Basic Board Mount Pressure Sensors, Wet-Wet Capable, ABP Series

Honeywell is pleased to announce its ABP Series Basic Board Mount Pressure Sensors are now dual ported, wet-wet capable, allowing for potential use with liquids on both sides of the sensor die. The product is in stock and available for ordering.

Value to Customers of Wet-Wet Capability

Board mount pressure sensors generally cannot survive exposure to liquid media. If the liquid does not immediately cause an electrical failure, over time it can cause the failure of components and wire bonds. Honeywell’s 20PC Series family of unamplified board mount pressure sensors have been possibly the only options for liquid media. Now the ABP Series provides enhanced and amplified pressure measurements in a small board mounted package. This provides a lower cost and smaller alternative to fully media isolated sensors for some liquid pressure applications.

Catalog Listings

Due to the ABP Series’ configurability, there are thousands of variations possible. Following are common catalog listings featuring the wet-wet option: ABPDJJT001PGAA5, ABPDRRT005PG2A5, ABPMJJT015PGAA5.
