Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as the MPX2102 series was originally developed by Freescale Semiconductor and later acquired by NXP Semiconductors. Ensure the specific suffix matches the required package type (SIP vs SMD) and pin configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes associated with legacy NXP sensor lines before finalizing procurement.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring absolute pressure sensing up to 100 kPa with analog output. Consider the through-hole SIP package for MPX2102A variants versus surface mount options if PCB space is constrained. Evaluate the need for temperature compensation and the specific accuracy requirements against the standard specifications provided in the datasheet.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

The MPX2102A belongs to the broader MPX2102/MPXV2102G family of pressure sensors. This series is characterized by its robust silicon piezoresistive technology, offering reliability in harsh environments. The family includes various pressure ranges and package configurations to suit different integration needs across automotive, industrial, and medical sectors.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Replacement Considerations
