MPXH6400AC6U

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The MPXH6400AC6U is an absolute pressure sensor from the MPXH6400A series, manufactured by NXP USA Inc. It features a surface-mount SSOP-8 package with a single axial barbless port. The device operates within a pressure range of 20 kPa to 400 kPa, with a maximum overload capacity of 1600 kPa. It provides an analog voltage output spanning 0.2 V to 4.8 V, powered by a supply voltage between 4.64 V and 5.36 V. The sensor ensures high accuracy with a tolerance of ±1.5% and includes integrated temperature compensation. It functions reliably in environments ranging from -40°C to +125°C.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Feature Summary

• Integrated temperature compensation for stable performance across operating ranges
• High-accuracy analog voltage output suitable for precision measurement applications
• Single axial barbless port design facilitating direct tubing connection

Pressure Sensors Transducers Applications

• Medical instrumentation systems
• Industrial process control equipment
• Board mount pressure sensing modules

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify manufacturer origin as NXP USA Inc., noting historical STMicroelectronics listings may appear in distributor catalogs. Confirm the specific suffix AC6U corresponds to the tube packaging variant rather than tape-and-reel alternatives like AC6T1. Ensure RoHS compliance documentation aligns with current regulatory standards before procurement finalization.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide dynamic pressure range up to 400 kPa is required alongside high accuracy. The integrated temperature compensation eliminates the need for external calibration circuits in many designs. Consider the SSOP-8 footprint for space-constrained board layouts requiring surface-mount assembly capabilities.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

This part belongs to the MPXH6400A family of absolute pressure sensors designed for robust industrial and medical use. It shares architectural similarities with the MPXA6115A series but offers a significantly higher pressure range. The device represents a transition point in NXP's portfolio where manufacturing responsibilities shifted between semiconductor entities while maintaining consistent electrical specifications.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Replacement Considerations

MPXH6400AC6T1 serves as the primary tape-and-reel equivalent for automated assembly processes. For lower pressure requirements, the MPXA6115AC6U offers a compatible form factor with reduced range. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics when substituting with these variants.
