MPL3150A2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPL3150A2 is a pressure sensor manufactured by NXP USA Inc. in an 8-TLGA surface mount package. This component is classified as obsolete and has been superseded in the product lifecycle. The sensor measures pressure with a range of 150 kPa and is designed for horizontal orientation applications. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance, and production continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MPL3150A2 has one identified substitute part: MPL3150A2ST1. This substitution is valid based on the following matching parameters:

Matching Criteria:

• Identical manufacturer: NXP USA Inc.
• Identical package type: 8-TLGA
• Identical supplier device package: 8-LGA (3x5)
• Identical mounting type: Surface Mount
• Identical pressure measurement range: 150 kPa
• Identical functional specification: Pressure sensor with horizontal orientation

The primary distinction between the main part and the substitute is the product status transition from obsolete to active, and the packaging format change from standard packaging to Tape & Reel (TR) configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPL3150A2ST1 is the direct substitute for the obsolete MPL3150A2. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The MPL3150A2 is obsolete and no longer in active production. The MPL3150A2ST1 maintains active product status with NXP USA Inc., ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Compliance and Certifications: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status. The MPL3150A2ST1 carries EAR99 export classification, which is standard for commercial electronic components. The substitute part supports ongoing regulatory compliance requirements.

Packaging Compatibility: The Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format of the MPL3150A2ST1 is standard for high-volume production environments and automated assembly processes. The identical 8-TLGA package and 8-LGA (3x5) supplier device package ensure direct mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB designs.

Functional Equivalence: Both parts are 150 kPa pressure sensors with identical package specifications and surface mount configuration. No design modifications are required for component substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPL3150A2ST1 be used as a direct replacement for the MPL3150A2?

A: Yes. The MPL3150A2ST1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the MPL3150A2. Both components share identical package types (8-TLGA), mounting methods (surface mount), and pressure measurement specifications (150 kPa). No PCB redesign or circuit modifications are necessary.

Q: What is the primary difference between the MPL3150A2 and MPL3150A2ST1?

A: The primary difference is product status and packaging format. The MPL3150A2 is obsolete, while the MPL3150A2ST1 is an active product. The substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly and high-volume production.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status. The MPL3150A2ST1 carries EAR99 export classification, which is appropriate for commercial pressure sensor applications. Regulatory compliance is maintained with the substitute part.

Q: Does the 8-LGA (3x5) package specification apply to both parts?

A: Yes. Both the MPL3150A2 and MPL3150A2ST1 use the 8-LGA (3x5) supplier device package. This ensures identical footprint compatibility and PCB layout requirements.

Q: Is the Tape & Reel packaging of the MPL3150A2ST1 compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment?

A: Yes. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is the standard format for automated surface mount assembly. The 8-TLGA package in TR format is compatible with all standard SMT assembly equipment and processes.

Q: Should inventory of the obsolete MPL3150A2 be transitioned to the MPL3150A2ST1?

A: Transition to the MPL3150A2ST1 is appropriate for new production and ongoing supply requirements. The active product status of the substitute part ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
