MPXV5010G6U Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MPXV5010G6U is a vented gauge pressure sensor manufactured by NXP Semiconductors, designed for board mount applications requiring low-pressure measurement up to 1.45 PSI (10 kPa). This sensor outputs analog voltage signals between 0.2 V and 4.7 V and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C with temperature compensation.

The MPXV5010G6U is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain reliability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this pressure sensor.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MPXV5010G6U is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Operating pressure specification: 1.45 PSI (10 kPa)
• Output type and range: Analog voltage 0.2 V ~ 4.7 V
• Accuracy rating: ±5%
• Supply voltage range: 4.75 V ~ 5.25 V
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 125°C
• Pressure type: Vented gauge configuration
• Temperature compensation feature
• Surface mount termination style

The MPXV5010GP qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters. Differences in port configuration (barbed male tube versus no port) and package presentation (gull wing versus SMD module tab) do not affect electrical interchangeability when the application permits mechanical adaptation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPXV5010GP is the recommended substitute for the obsolete MPXV5010G6U based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters are identical, including operating pressure, output voltage range, accuracy, supply voltage requirements, and operating temperature range. Signal conditioning and sensor response characteristics remain unchanged.

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs and replacements.

Product Availability: The MPXV5010GP is classified as active product status with confirmed inventory availability (1476 pieces), whereas the MPXV5010G6U is obsolete with limited remaining stock (800 pieces). This availability differential supports long-term supply chain planning.

Mechanical Considerations: The MPXV5010GP incorporates a barbed male tube port (0.13" / 3.17mm) and gull wing termination, whereas the MPXV5010G6U features no port and SMD tab termination. These mechanical differences require evaluation against specific application requirements. If the original design does not utilize a pressure port connection, the port addition on the MPXV5010GP must be accommodated or sealed. If the original design requires SMD tab termination, gull wing lead geometry necessitates PCB layout and assembly process adaptation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPXV5010GP directly replace the MPXV5010G6U without circuit modifications?

A: Electrical substitution is direct. All signal conditioning, voltage output, and sensor response parameters are identical. However, mechanical integration requires assessment. If your application does not use the pressure port, the barbed tube on the MPXV5010GP must be sealed or removed. If your PCB assembly process is optimized for SMD tab termination, the gull wing leads require process adjustment.

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

A: The MPXV5010G6U has no port, meaning pressure is sensed through a vent hole on the sensor body. The MPXV5010GP includes a barbed male tube port for direct tubing connection. Both are vented gauge configurations. The choice depends on your mechanical interface design. No port requires passive venting; a barbed port enables active pressure line connection.

Q: Are there any differences in sensor accuracy or response time?

A: No. Both parts specify ±5% accuracy and identical operating temperature range with temperature compensation. Sensor response characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Why is the MPXV5010G6U obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The MPXV5010GP represents the active continuation of this pressure sensor line and is the recommended path for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The MPXV5010G6U uses 8-SMD Module packaging with SMD tab termination. The MPXV5010GP uses 8-SMD, Gull Wing, Side Port packaging. Both are surface mount, but lead geometry and port configuration differ. Verify your assembly equipment and PCB design accommodate gull wing leads before substitution.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the MPXV5010G6U and MPXV5010GP are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
