MPX2202A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPX2202A is an absolute pressure sensor manufactured by NXP Semiconductors, designed for board mount applications requiring 29.01 PSI (200 kPa) absolute pressure measurement. The sensor outputs a Wheatstone Bridge signal of 0 mV to 40 mV at 10V supply voltage and operates across -40°C to 125°C. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MPX2202A is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pressure Type: Must be Absolute
• Package Format: Must be 4-SIP Module with PC Pin termination for Through Hole mounting
• Output Type: Must be Wheatstone Bridge
• Operating Pressure Range: Must accommodate 29.01 PSI (200 kPa) nominal measurement
• Supply Voltage Compatibility: Substitute must operate within or overlap the 10V ~ 16V supply range
• Temperature Range: Must support the required operating environment

The NSCSSNN030PAUNV from Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions meets these substitution criteria with compatible pressure measurement capability (30 PSI nominal), matching package format, and overlapping electrical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The NSCSSNN030PAUNV is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete MPX2202A based on matching package format, pressure type, output configuration, and mounting methodology. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Key compliance considerations: The NSCSSNN030PAUNV is RoHS Compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), compared to the MPX2202A's ROHS3 Compliant status. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Design integration requires verification that the output voltage differential (0-74 mV at 5V for the substitute versus 0-40 mV at 10V for the original) is compatible with downstream signal conditioning circuitry. The substitute's maximum operating temperature of 85°C is lower than the original part's 125°C rating; applications requiring the full original temperature range must evaluate thermal requirements independently.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NSCSSNN030PAUNV directly replace the MPX2202A without circuit modifications?

A: Both parts use identical 4-SIP Module packaging with PC Pin termination and Wheatstone Bridge output. However, the output voltage levels differ: the substitute produces 0-74 mV at 5V supply versus the original's 0-40 mV at 10V supply. Signal conditioning circuits must be evaluated for compatibility with these output specifications.

Q: What is the pressure measurement difference between these parts?

A: The MPX2202A measures 29.01 PSI (200 kPa) nominal, while the NSCSSNN030PAUNV measures 30 PSI (206.84 kPa) nominal. This 0.99 PSI difference represents approximately 3.4% variation and must be assessed against application accuracy requirements.

Q: Are there supply voltage compatibility issues?

A: The MPX2202A requires 10V ~ 16V supply, while the NSCSSNN030PAUNV operates at 1.5V ~ 12V. The overlap range is 10V ~ 12V. Applications using supply voltages above 12V cannot use the substitute without voltage regulation.

Q: What is the temperature operating range difference?

A: The original part operates -40°C ~ 125°C, while the substitute operates -40°C ~ 85°C. Applications requiring operation above 85°C cannot use this substitute.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The MPX2202A is ROHS3 Compliant, and the NSCSSNN030PAUNV is RoHS Compliant. Both meet applicable environmental regulations.
