Product details
Overview
MPX5010GP from NXP Semiconductors is a gauge pressure sensor with on-chip signal conditioning, temperature compensation, and factory calibration. It delivers a ratiometric analog output (0.2–4.925 V) over 0–10 kPa full-scale range at 5 V supply, features ±5.0% accuracy across 0° to 85°C, and uses a patented silicon shear-stress strain gauge for stable performance in HVAC and respiratory systems.
For engineers reviewing the MPX5010GP datasheet, MPX5010GP pinout, MPX5010GP application, or MPX5010GP equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world use cases, and confirmed alternative options for pressure sensing in microcontroller-based embedded systems requiring industrial-grade reliability and media-resistant packaging.
Technical Context
The MPX5010GP integrates a monolithic silicon piezoresistive sensing element with thin-film temperature compensation circuitry and dual-stage gain amplification. Its signal path includes offset correction and full-scale span adjustment calibrated at wafer level.
It operates as a ratiometric device-output voltage scales linearly with supply voltage (4.75–5.25 V), enabling direct interface with microcontroller ADCs without external reference. The unibody package incorporates fluorosilicone gel isolation and a stainless-steel port for dry-air-compatible gauge pressure measurement (P1 > P2).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar gauge pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPXV5010GP | Smaller SOT1693-3 package (12.06 mm × 12.06 mm × 7.62 mm); 8-pin SOIC footprint; same 0–10 kPa range and ±5.0% accuracy. | Requires PCB redesign due to different pin count, pitch, and body dimensions; better suited for space-constrained boards. | Select MPXV5010GP when board area is limited and rework of layout is acceptable. |
| MPVZ5010GW7U | Media-resistant gel variant in SOT1691-1 package (1.07 mm × 1.07 mm × 1.99 mm); rated for aggressive fluids; ±5.0% accuracy over 0–10 kPa. | Designed for wet-media environments (e.g., coolant, saline); not intended for dry-air gauge use without validation. | Choose MPVZ5010GW7U only when direct contact with non-dry-air media is required and miniaturization is critical. |
Compared with MPX5010GP, MPXV5010GP offers identical electrical performance in a smaller SOIC package but demands new layout and routing, while MPVZ5010GW7U trades size and media compatibility for reduced mechanical robustness and higher cost-making MPX5010GP optimal for cost-sensitive, dry-air, industrial gauge applications where unibody durability and proven field reliability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum pressure rating for MPX5010GP?
The MPX5010GP has a maximum pressure rating of 40 kPa (absolute limit before permanent damage). Its specified full-scale operating range is 0–10 kPa gauge pressure. Exceeding 40 kPa may cause irreversible diaphragm deformation or bond wire failure, as defined in Table 5 of the NXP datasheet Rev. 14.
Does MPX5010GP require external calibration after soldering?
No, MPX5010GP does not require external calibration after soldering. It is fully calibrated at wafer level and includes on-chip temperature compensation. The ±5.0% accuracy specification applies over 0° to 85°C without user adjustment, and the unibody package minimizes post-assembly stress-induced drift.
Can MPX5010GP be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller supply?
MPX5010GP is specified for 4.75–5.25 V supply only. While it may power up at 3.3 V, output voltage will fall outside guaranteed specifications (e.g., VFSO drops below 4.475 V), and accuracy degrades beyond ±5.0% VFSS. For 3.3 V systems, consider MPXV5010GP with compatible decoupling per Figure 11.
What is the meaning of "gauge" in MPX5010GP?
In MPX5010GP, "gauge" means the sensor measures pressure relative to ambient atmospheric pressure via its single port (P1 side). It is not sealed or absolute-referenced. The device requires open exposure of the port to ambient air or connection to a vented pressure line to function correctly as a gauge transducer.
Is MPX5010GP RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, MPX5010GP is RoHS compliant and lead-free. Per NXP's product change notification and packaging data, the SOT1852-1 package uses lead-free terminations and complies with EU Directive 2011/65/EU. Full compliance documentation is available through NXP's official product page and Aetrix Electronics' material declarations.
