Engineering Selection Recommendations

Substitution Feasibility:

The IPS-G6000-6M12 is a functionally equivalent substitute for the obsolete MLH006BGC17G in applications where the following conditions are met:

1. Pressure Measurement Range: Both sensors operate at 87.02 PSI (600 kPa) nominal pressure with vented gauge configuration. The MLH006BGC17G specifies a maximum pressure of 261.07 PSI (1800 kPa); the IPS-G6000-6M12 maximum pressure is not specified in the provided data. System designs must verify that the IPS-G6000-6M12 pressure rating is adequate for the application.

2. Output Signal Compatibility: The MLH006BGC17G outputs 1 V to 5 V; the IPS-G6000-6M12 outputs 0 V to 5 V. This difference in zero-point offset requires signal conditioning or calibration adjustment in the receiving instrumentation or control system. The IPS-G6000-6M12 provides higher accuracy (±0.25% vs. ±0.5%), which may improve system performance.

3. Mechanical Interface: Both sensors feature identical Male 1/4" (6.35 mm) BSP threaded ports, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility in existing installations.

4. Electrical Supply: The IPS-G6000-6M12 supply voltage range (9 V to 32 V) overlaps with the MLH006BGC17G range (8 V to 30 V). Existing power supplies within the 9 V to 30 V window are compatible with both sensors.

5. Temperature Operating Range: The MLH006BGC17G operates from -40°C to 125°C; the IPS-G6000-6M12 operates from -20°C to 80°C. Applications requiring operation below -20°C or above 80°C cannot use the IPS-G6000-6M12 as a direct substitute.

6. Regulatory Compliance: Both sensors are EAR99 classified and RoHS compliant (MLH006BGC17G: RoHS Compliant; IPS-G6000-6M12: ROHS3 Compliant). Both share the same HTSUS commodity code (9026.20.4000).

7. Product Status: The IPS-G6000-6M12 is active in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete MLH006BGC17G.

Selection Criteria:

Choose the IPS-G6000-6M12 as a substitute when:

• Operating temperature range does not exceed -20°C to 80°C
• Output signal offset (0 V to 5 V vs. 1 V to 5 V) can be accommodated in system design
• Maximum pressure rating of the IPS-G6000-6M12 meets or exceeds application requirements
• Supply voltage is within the 9 V to 32 V range

Do not substitute if:

• Application requires operation below -20°C or above 80°C
• System design cannot accommodate the 0 V to 5 V output range
• Maximum pressure specification of the IPS-G6000-6M12 is insufficient for the application

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is the MLH006BGC17G classified as obsolete?

A: The MLH006BGC17G is no longer manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions. Obsolete status indicates end-of-life for this product line. Existing inventory may be available through authorized distributors, but long-term supply cannot be guaranteed. Substitution with active-production alternatives is recommended for new designs and system replacements.

Q2: What is the primary difference between the MLH006BGC17G and IPS-G6000-6M12 output signals?

A: The MLH006BGC17G outputs 1 V to 5 V (4 V span with 1 V offset), while the IPS-G6000-6M12 outputs 0 V to 5 V (5 V span with 0 V offset). This difference affects signal interpretation in the receiving control system or data acquisition device. The system must be recalibrated or signal conditioning must be applied to account for this offset difference.

Q3: Can the IPS-G6000-6M12 be used in applications requiring operation below -20°C?

A: No. The IPS-G6000-6M12 operating temperature range is -20°C to 80°C. The MLH006BGC17G supports -40°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation below -20°C or above 80°C cannot use the IPS-G6000-6M12 as a direct substitute. Alternative sensors with extended temperature ranges must be evaluated.

Q4: Are the mechanical connections identical between these two sensors?

A: Yes. Both the MLH006BGC17G and IPS-G6000-6M12 feature Male 1/4" (6.35 mm) BSP threaded ports. Direct mechanical installation compatibility is confirmed. However, the IPS-G6000-6M12 uses an M12 threaded connector termination style, while the MLH006BGC17G uses a metal cylinder package. Electrical connection methods may differ.

Q5: What is the accuracy difference between these sensors?

A: The MLH006BGC17G specifies ±0.5% accuracy, while the IPS-G6000-6M12 specifies ±0.25% accuracy. The IPS-G6000-6M12 provides twice the accuracy of the MLH006BGC17G. This improved accuracy may benefit applications requiring higher measurement precision.

Q6: Are both sensors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MLH006BGC17G is RoHS Compliant. The IPS-G6000-6M12 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet RoHS requirements. The IPS-G6000-6M12 meets the more recent ROHS3 standard, which includes additional restricted substances.

Q7: What supply voltage range is compatible with both sensors?

A: The MLH006BGC17G requires 8 V to 30 V; the IPS-G6000-6M12 requires 9 V to 32 V. The overlapping compatible range is 9 V to 30 V. Power supplies within this window are suitable for both sensors. Supplies below 9 V or above 30 V may not be compatible with both devices.

Q8: Is the maximum pressure rating identical for both sensors?

A: No. The MLH006BGC17G specifies a maximum pressure of 261.07 PSI (1800 kPa). The IPS-G6000-6M12 maximum pressure is not specified in the provided technical data. System designers must verify that the IPS-G6000-6M12 pressure rating is adequate for the application before substitution.

Q9: Can the IPS-G6000-6M12 be used as a direct replacement without system modifications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the application operates within -20°C to 80°C, the 0 V to 5 V output signal is compatible with the receiving system, and the maximum pressure rating of the IPS-G6000-6M12 is verified as adequate. Signal offset adjustment or recalibration is typically required due to the output range difference (0 V to 5 V vs. 1 V to 5 V).

Q10: What is the inventory status of these sensors?

A: The MLH006BGC17G has 758 pieces of new original stock available. The IPS-G6000-6M12 has 615 pieces of new original stock available. Both are currently in stock through authorized distributors. However, the MLH006BGC17G is obsolete and stock is finite, while the IPS-G6000-6M12 is active in production and represents a sustainable long-term supply option.
