MPXV4115VC6U Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPXV4115VC6U is a vacuum pressure sensor manufactured by NXP USA Inc., designed for board mount applications requiring analog voltage output. This sensor measures negative gauge pressure (vacuum) with a range of -16.68 PSI (-115 kPa) and delivers output signals between 0.2 V and 4.6 V. The device features temperature compensation and is housed in an 8-SMD, Gull Wing package with a top port configuration and male 0.13" (3.17mm) tube connection.

The MPXV4115VC6U is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it has been superseded in NXP's product portfolio. Organizations using this sensor in active applications or requiring replacement units must identify functionally equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with existing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MPXV4115VC6U are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Pressure Type: Vacuum
• Operating Pressure Range: -16.68 PSI (-115 kPa)
• Output Type: Analog Voltage
• Output Voltage Range: 0.2 V ~ 4.6 V
• Supply Voltage: 4.75 V ~ 5.25 V
• Accuracy: ±1.5%
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 125°C
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Features: Temperature Compensated
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Package / Case: 8-SMD, Gull Wing configuration
• Port Size: Male - 0.13" (3.17mm) Tube
• Port Style: Barbless

Two substitute parts meet these criteria with variations in product status and port configuration:

1. MPXV6115V6U — MFR Recommended substitute with identical electrical specifications but without integrated port (requires external tubing connection)
2. MPXV6115VC6U — Parametric equivalent with complete electrical and mechanical compatibility, including integrated top port

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MPXV6115VC6U is the direct parametric equivalent for applications requiring drop-in replacement of the MPXV4115VC6U. This part maintains identical electrical specifications, operating ranges, accuracy, and mechanical port configuration. Both devices feature ROHS3 compliance and are temperature compensated. The MPXV6115VC6U carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support.

MPXV6115V6U is the manufacturer-recommended alternative when port integration is not required or when external tubing connections are preferred. This variant eliminates the integrated top port, reducing component complexity in applications where pressure sensing lines are managed separately. The MPXV6115V6U also maintains Active product status and identical electrical performance.

Selection between these substitutes depends on mechanical integration requirements. Designs currently using the MPXV4115VC6U's integrated port configuration should transition to MPXV6115VC6U. Designs that can accommodate external tubing connections may use either substitute, with MPXV6115V6U offering simplified packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MPXV6115VC6U replace MPXV4115VC6U in existing designs without modification?

A: Yes. The MPXV6115VC6U is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, output voltage range, supply voltage requirements, accuracy, operating temperature range, and mechanical port configuration. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between MPXV6115V6U and MPXV6115VC6U?

A: Both parts share identical electrical performance and accuracy specifications. The primary difference is mechanical: MPXV6115VC6U includes an integrated male 0.13" (3.17mm) tube port (Top Port configuration), while MPXV6115V6U does not include an integrated port. MPXV6115V6U requires external tubing connections for pressure sensing applications.

Q: Why is MPXV4115VC6U marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part has been superseded in NXP's active product portfolio. The MPXV6115 series represents the current generation of equivalent vacuum pressure sensors. Existing applications may continue using MPXV4115VC6U stock, but new designs should specify MPXV6115VC6U or MPXV6115V6U.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. MPXV4115VC6U, MPXV6115V6U, and MPXV6115VC6U are all ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the pressure measurement range for these sensors?

A: All three sensors measure vacuum (negative gauge pressure) with an operating range of -16.68 PSI (-115 kPa) and a maximum pressure rating of -58.02 PSI (-400 kPa).

Q: Do these sensors require external signal conditioning?

A: No. All three sensors output analog voltage directly (0.2 V ~ 4.6 V) with temperature compensation built into the device. They operate from a 4.75 V ~ 5.25 V supply and are suitable for direct connection to analog input circuits.
