MPX5050GP

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The MPX5050GP is a vented gauge pressure sensor from the MPX5050 series, manufactured by NXP USA Inc. It features an integrated silicon sensing element with on-chip signal conditioning and temperature compensation. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and provides an analog voltage output ranging from 0.2V to 4.7V corresponding to pressures between 0kPa and 50kPa (7.25PSI). It has a maximum overpressure rating of 200kPa (29.01PSI) and an accuracy of ±2.5%. The sensor utilizes a 6-pin SIP module package with PC pin termination and includes a single radial barbed port for connection.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as some distributor listings incorrectly attribute this NXP part to STMicroelectronics. Confirm the specific suffix and package type matches the required 6-pin SIP configuration. Ensure the application environment does not exceed the 125°C maximum operating temperature or the 200kPa overpressure limit. Cross-reference the datasheet version to confirm compatibility with system voltage requirements.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this component when a vented gauge measurement range up to 50kPa is required with high accuracy. The integrated temperature compensation eliminates the need for external calibration in many applications. Consider the 6-pin SIP package for through-hole mounting if surface-mount alternatives like the MPXV5050GC6T1 are unsuitable. Ensure the analog output interface aligns with the microcontroller's ADC input range.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

The MPX5050GP belongs to the MPX5050 series of integrated silicon pressure sensors. This family is designed for cost-effective pressure measurement solutions in automotive and industrial markets. The GP variant specifically denotes the vented gauge configuration with a barbed port, distinguishing it from differential or absolute pressure variants within the same product line.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Replacement Considerations

MPXV5050GC6T1 is a surface-mount alternative within the same series offering similar electrical characteristics but in an 8-SMD package.
