MG-5000-A-MD-R Digital Pressure Sensor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MG-5000-A-MD-R is a digital pressure gauge sensor manufactured by Amphenol SSI Technologies, designed for industrial automation applications requiring precise pressure measurement up to 5000 PSI. This sensor features an integrated LCD display, Wheatstone Bridge output with 4-20 mA signal conditioning, and temperature compensation for stable operation across -10°C to 60°C.

The MG-5000-A-MD-R is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary to ensure continued availability for system maintenance, production continuity, and long-term project support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MG-5000-A-MD-R is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant or compatible:

Core Functional Parameters:

• Operating pressure range: 5000 PSI nominal
• Output signal type: 4-20 mA Wheatstone Bridge
• Supply voltage: 12V
• Accuracy specification: ±0.25%
• Temperature compensation capability
• Vented gauge pressure type

Physical Interface Parameters:

• Port connection: Male 1/4" NPT threaded
• Pressure rating: Minimum 15000 PSI burst/maximum pressure

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -10°C to 60°C minimum
• RoHS compliance status
• MSL rating: 1 or better

The substitute part MG-5000-A-M12-R maintains functional equivalence through identical pressure range, output characteristics, accuracy, and supply voltage specifications. The primary difference is the connector interface style, which transitions from a threaded NPT port to an M12 connector configuration.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The MG-5000-A-MD-R is classified as obsolete, while the MG-5000-A-M12-R is active production. For new designs or long-term system support, the active production part is preferred to ensure continued availability and manufacturer support.

Compliance & Certification: Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol SSI Technologies. The main part carries RoHS compliance certification. Compliance status of the substitute part should be confirmed with the manufacturer before final selection.

Interface Compatibility: The primary distinction between these parts is the connection interface. The main part uses a male 1/4" NPT threaded port, while the substitute uses an M12 connector. System integration requires either:

• Mechanical adapter from M12 to 1/4" NPT
• System redesign to accommodate M12 connector interface

Inventory & Availability: Main part: 1057 pieces in stock (obsolete status) Substitute part: 687 pieces in stock (active production)

For applications where the M12 connector interface is compatible with existing system architecture, the MG-5000-A-M12-R provides equivalent functional performance with the advantage of active manufacturer support and continued availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MG-5000-A-M12-R directly replace the MG-5000-A-MD-R without modification?

A: Direct replacement requires verification of connector compatibility. The MG-5000-A-MD-R uses a male 1/4" NPT threaded port, while the MG-5000-A-M12-R uses an M12 connector. If your system is designed for M12 connectors, direct replacement is possible. If your system uses NPT ports, a mechanical adapter or system redesign is required.

Q: Are the pressure measurement ranges identical between these parts?

A: Both parts operate at 5000 PSI nominal pressure. Confirm maximum pressure rating and burst pressure specifications for the MG-5000-A-M12-R with the manufacturer before final selection.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The MG-5000-A-MD-R is obsolete, meaning Amphenol SSI Technologies no longer manufactures this model. The MG-5000-A-M12-R is active production, ensuring continued availability, manufacturer technical support, and compliance with current industry standards.

Q: Do both sensors provide the same output signal characteristics?

A: The MG-5000-A-MD-R provides 4-20 mA output with integrated LCD display via Wheatstone Bridge configuration. Confirm identical output specifications for the MG-5000-A-M12-R with the manufacturer's technical datasheet.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The MG-5000-A-MD-R is supplied in a module box with display. Packaging information for the MG-5000-A-M12-R should be confirmed with the manufacturer.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The MG-5000-A-MD-R is RoHS compliant. Confirm RoHS compliance status for the MG-5000-A-M12-R with the manufacturer's current documentation.
