Honeywell has released new Food Grade variants to the MicroPressure Board Mount Pressure Sensors, MPR Series product line. Learn more about the features and benefits of this innovative new lineup of sensor technology for liquid level sensing in consumer appliances.
Food Grade variants use sensor materials that meet food safety certification for North America, Europe and Asia. These sensor materials have been tested and certified for food safety standards such as NSF-169, BPA Free and LFGB. This makes them a good fit for liquid level sensing applications where the medium involved is drinking water or beverages. They are often ideal for consumer appliances including coffee makers, beverage dispensers, water purifires, and more.
ABOUT THE MPR SERIES
The MPR Series is a very small piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor offering a digital output for reading pressure over the specified full scale pressure span and temperature range. It is calibrated and compensated over a specific temperature range for sensor offset, sensitivity, temperature effects, and non-linearity using an on-board Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). This product is designed to meet the requirements of higher volume medical (consumer and non-consumer) devices and commercial appliance applications.
Value to Customers
The MPR Series' very small form factor enables portability by addressing weight, size, and space restrictions. It occupies less area on the PCB and its plug and play feature enables ease of implementation and system level connectivity. The MPR Series enhances performance through reduced conversion requirements and a direct interface to microprocessors. It meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D.1 Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 requirements. The MPR Series is energy efficient by reducing system power requirements and enables extended battery life.
