MPXM12GS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPXM12GS is a vented gauge pressure sensor manufactured by NXP Semiconductors, designed for board mount applications with a 1.45 PSI (10 kPa) operating pressure range. The sensor features a Wheatstone Bridge output configuration with 0 mV to 55 mV output at 3V supply voltage and ±5% accuracy. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the MPXM12GS is determined by the following critical parameters:

Pressure Specifications: Operating pressure range (1.45 PSI / 10 kPa) and maximum pressure rating (10.88 PSI / 75 kPa) must remain identical to maintain functional equivalence in pressure measurement applications.

Physical Interface: Port size (Male - 0.12" / 2.97 mm Tube), port style (Barbless), and mounting type (Surface Mount) must match to ensure mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and pneumatic connections.

Electrical Characteristics: Output type (Wheatstone Bridge) and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C) must be preserved. However, substitute parts may operate at different supply voltages and produce different output voltage ranges, provided the application circuit can accommodate these variations.

Package Configuration: The 5-SMD Module, Top Port package and Gull Wing termination style must remain consistent for PCB assembly compatibility.

Compliance Standards: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status must be maintained for regulatory adherence.

The MPXM2010GST1 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on these criteria, despite differences in supply voltage, output range, and accuracy specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPXM2010GST1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete MPXM12GS. Both components maintain identical pressure specifications, physical interfaces, and package configurations, ensuring mechanical and pneumatic compatibility.

The primary differences are electrical: the MPXM2010GST1 requires a higher supply voltage (10V ~ 16V versus 3V ~ 6V) and produces a lower output voltage range (0 mV ~ 25 mV versus 0 mV ~ 55 mV). The substitute also provides superior accuracy (±1% versus ±5%) and includes temperature compensation features.

Selection of the MPXM2010GST1 requires circuit redesign to accommodate the higher supply voltage and modified output signal levels. The active product status and ROHS3 compliance of the substitute ensure long-term availability and regulatory compliance for new designs and production continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPXM2010GST1 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the MPXM12GS?

A: No. While both sensors share identical pressure ranges, port configurations, and package types, the MPXM2010GST1 requires a different supply voltage (10V ~ 16V versus 3V ~ 6V) and produces different output voltage levels (0 mV ~ 25 mV versus 0 mV ~ 55 mV). Circuit modifications are necessary to accommodate these electrical differences.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for substituting the MPXM12GS?

A: Substitute sensors must maintain the 1.45 PSI (10 kPa) operating pressure specification, vented gauge pressure type, Wheatstone Bridge output configuration, Male 0.12" (2.97 mm) barbless port, and 5-SMD Module, Top Port package with Gull Wing termination. Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C) and maximum pressure rating (10.88 PSI / 75 kPa) must also remain unchanged.

Q: Why is the MPXM2010GST1 recommended despite different electrical specifications?

A: The MPXM2010GST1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute from NXP Semiconductors. It maintains all critical pressure and mechanical parameters while offering improved accuracy (±1% versus ±5%) and temperature compensation. The substitute is an active product with confirmed long-term availability, addressing the obsolescence of the MPXM12GS.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the MPXM12GS and MPXM2010GST1?

A: Both components use identical 5-SMD Module, Top Port packages with Gull Wing termination. The MPXM2010GST1 is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel packaging options, providing flexibility for different procurement and assembly workflows.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the MPXM2010GST1?

A: The MPXM2010GST1 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the MPXM12GS. Both components carry EAR99 ECCN classification and HTSUS code 8542.39.0001.
