DESCRIPTION
The Model 1240 is a high performance temperature compen-
sated, piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor packaged in
a dual-in-line configuration and intended for cost sensitive
applications where excellent performance and long-term
stability are required.
Integral temperature compensation is provided over a
range of -20°C to +85°C using laser-trimmed resistors. An
additional laser-trimmed resistor is included to normalize pres-
sure sensitivity variations, for interchangeability of ±1%.
Gage and Differential pressure ranges from 0-15 PSI to
0-100 PSI are available. Absolute pressure ranges of 0-15
PSIA and 0-30 PSIA are available. Multiple lead and tube
configurations are also available for customizing the package
for specific applications.
Please refer to the low pressure section for information on
products with operating pressures less than 0-2 PSI. For a
compensated sensor using a gain set resistor as opposed to a
current set resistor, please refer to the Model 1230.

Notes
1. Output span of unamplified sensor using current set resistor.
2. Best Fit Straight Line.
3. Compensation resistors are an integral part of the sensor package; no additional
external resistors are required. Pins 7 and 8 must be kept open.
4. Temperature range: -20 to +85°C in reference to 25°C.
5. For a zero-to-full scale pressure step change.
6. 10 Hz to 1 kHz.
7. Prevents increase of TC–Span due to output loading.
8. 3X or 200 psi maximum, whichever is less.
9. Wetted materials are glass, ceramic, silicon, RTV, nickel, gold, and aluminum.
10. Soldering of lead pins: 250°C for 5 seconds maximum.
11. Tube length: L=470 ± 5 mil, S=300 ± 3 mil, N=no tube.
12. Lead pins can either be in the same or the opposite direction as the pressure
tube. See Connections/Dimensions drawing for lead configurations.
13. Normalized offset bridge voltage: 7 days.
14. 1 year.
