Honeywell ABP3 High Accuracy Board Mount Pressure Sensors

Description

Honeywell ABP3 Pressure Sensors for Accurate and Reliable Measurement

Honeywell ABP3 pressure sensors provide high-accuracy, temperature-compensated pressure measurement for medical, industrial and commercial applications. These compact, board-mounted sensors combine flexible pressure ranges, analog and digital outputs, and options for liquid-media compatibility. As a result, engineers can integrate precise pressure sensing into a wide range of electronic systems.

The ABP3 Series builds on Honeywell's established ABP and ABP2 sensor families. It offers enhanced measurement performance, advanced diagnostics and a broad selection of mechanical configurations.

High Accuracy Across a Wide Temperature Range

The Honeywell ABP3 Series supports pressure ranges from 2.5 mbar to 10 bar, depending on the selected model. Absolute, differential and gage pressure configurations allow engineers to match the sensor to specific measurement requirements.

Selected configurations achieve a Total Error Band (TEB) as low as ±1.5% of Full Scale Span (FSS) between 0°C and 50°C. The actual TEB depends on pressure range, media protection and temperature.

Unlike a basic accuracy specification, TEB accounts for several sources of measurement error. These include non-linearity, hysteresis, repeatability and temperature-related effects. Consequently, it provides a useful basis for evaluating sensor performance in real operating conditions.

The sensors operate and are temperature-compensated from -40°C to +110°C, supporting applications exposed to changing environmental temperatures.

Flexible Outputs and Fast Pressure Measurement

The ABP3 Series offers analog voltage outputs and digital interfaces using I²C or SPI communication.

Digital versions provide up to 15-bit effective resolution, while standard configurations support measurement update rates up to 4,000 samples per second.

In addition, digital models feature temperature output and advanced diagnostics. These functions help system designers monitor measurement conditions and integrate pressure sensing into electronic control systems.

Available supply voltage configurations support integration with different circuit designs. Furthermore, the compact sensor footprint helps minimize PCB space requirements.

Liquid-Media Compatibility and Mechanical Flexibility

Honeywell offers the ABP3 Series with different media protection options.

Dry-gas configurations serve pneumatic and air-pressure applications. Meanwhile, liquid-compatible versions use silicone or fluorosilicone gel to protect sensitive components from appropriate measurement media.

Selected configurations also support wet-on-wet differential pressure measurement, enabling liquid pressure measurements on both ports.

Engineers can choose between DIP, SMT and leadless SMT packages. Several pressure port designs are available, including axial, radial and dual-port configurations.

This mechanical flexibility simplifies integration into different PCB layouts and pressure connections.

Applications in Medical and Industrial Equipment

The Honeywell ABP3 pressure sensors are suitable for a broad range of pressure measurement applications.

Medical and Healthcare

Potential applications include ventilators, oxygen concentrators, CPAP devices, patient monitoring equipment and spirometry systems.

In these systems, accurate pressure measurements support the monitoring and regulation of air or fluid pressure.

Industrial Automation and HVAC

Industrial applications include pneumatic control, air filtration, clogged-filter detection, HVAC equipment, pumps and gas analysis systems.

Differential pressure models can monitor pressure differences across filters or other components. This supports condition monitoring and process control.

Commercial and Smart Devices

The ABP3 Series can also be integrated into smart water and gas meters, liquid-level measurement systems, household appliances and other compact electronic devices.
