MPX2102A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPX2102A is a pressure sensor manufactured by NXP USA Inc. designed for absolute pressure measurement applications. This 14.5PSI (100kPa) absolute pressure sensor features a Wheatstone Bridge output with 0 mV to 40 mV signal range at 10V supply, housed in a 4-SIP Module package with PC Pin termination for through-hole mounting.

The MPX2102A is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary to support ongoing system maintenance, repair, and production requirements where original inventory is depleted or unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MPX2102A is determined by strict equivalence across core electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications for pressure measurement capability, output characteristics, and physical form factor to ensure direct replacement compatibility.

The critical parameters governing substitution are:

• Pressure Type: Absolute
• Operating Pressure: 14.5PSI (100kPa)
• Output Type: Wheatstone Bridge
• Output Range: 0 mV ~ 40 mV (10V)
• Accuracy: ±1%
• Supply Voltage: 10V ~ 16V
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 125°C
• Maximum Pressure: 58.02PSI (400kPa)
• Package / Case: 4-SIP Module
• Termination Style: PC Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Temperature Compensation: Required

The MPX2102ASX is classified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both parts belong to the MPX2102 series and share identical electrical performance specifications and core mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPX2102ASX is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete MPX2102A. Both components are manufactured by NXP USA Inc. and maintain identical electrical performance specifications across all critical parameters including pressure measurement range, output characteristics, accuracy, and operating conditions.

The MPX2102ASX carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and equivalent regulatory standing.

The primary distinction between the two parts is the port configuration. The MPX2102A features no port, while the MPX2102ASX includes a barbed male port sized at 0.19" (4.93mm) for tube connection. This difference must be evaluated against the specific application requirements. If the original design utilizes the no-port configuration of the MPX2102A, the barbed port on the MPX2102ASX may require mechanical adaptation or alternative mounting consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPX2102ASX directly replace the MPX2102A in all applications?

A: The MPX2102ASX is electrically and functionally equivalent to the MPX2102A across all core pressure measurement parameters. However, the port configuration differs. The MPX2102A has no port, while the MPX2102ASX includes a barbed male port. Compatibility depends on whether the application design accommodates or requires the barbed port interface.

Q: What is the significance of the port difference between these two parts?

A: The MPX2102A is designed for applications where no fluid connection port is required. The MPX2102ASX includes a barbed male port (0.19" / 4.93mm) for direct tube connection. Selection between these variants depends on the pressure measurement interface requirements of the specific application.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the MPX2102A and MPX2102ASX are ROHS3 compliant and meet equivalent environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Why is the MPX2102A classified as obsolete?

A: The MPX2102A is no longer in active production. The MPX2102ASX represents the current active equivalent from the same manufacturer and series, offering identical electrical performance with enhanced availability.

Q: What packaging options are available for these parts?

A: The MPX2102A is supplied in standard packaging. The MPX2102ASX is supplied in Tray packaging. Both maintain the same 4-SIP Module form factor and PC Pin termination for through-hole mounting.
