MPX4250AP

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The MPX4250AP is an absolute pressure sensor manufactured by NXP USA Inc., designed for automotive applications. It measures pressures ranging from 20 kPa to 250 kPa (2.9 PSI to 36.26 PSI). The device features temperature compensation and signal conditioning, providing an analog voltage output between 0.2 V and 4.9 V when powered by a 4.85 V to 5.35 V supply. It utilizes a through-hole mounting style with a single radial barbed port of 4.93 mm size. The sensor operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and maintains an accuracy of ±1.5%. The package is a 6-pin Unibody-6 configuration.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Feature Summary

• Integrated temperature compensation and signal conditioning for reliable performance in automotive environments.
• Analog voltage output provides direct interface capability without requiring external amplification.
• Robust construction supports operation across extreme industrial and automotive temperature ranges.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Applications

• Automotive tire pressure monitoring systems
• Manifold absolute pressure sensing in engine control units

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against official NXP documentation due to the part's discontinued status. Confirm that the specific package variant matches design requirements, as legacy components may have limited availability or alternative sourcing options. Ensure compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations relevant to the target market before finalizing procurement decisions.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this component when board-mount through-hole technology is required for absolute pressure sensing up to 250 kPa. The integrated signal conditioning simplifies circuit design by eliminating the need for external amplifiers. Consider the physical dimensions of the 6-pin Unibody-6 package and the radial barbed port for system integration constraints.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

This sensor belongs to the MPX4250 series, which includes various packaging options such as surface mount and leaded configurations. The MPX4250AP specifically denotes the through-hole variant with a barbed port, distinguishing it from surface mount versions like the MPXA4250A series. This family is widely recognized for its reliability in demanding automotive and industrial sectors.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available for this discontinued component. Engineers should evaluate equivalent sensors from other manufacturers that meet the same pressure range, output type, and package specifications. Cross-referencing datasheets for pin compatibility and electrical characteristics is essential for successful replacement.
