PRESSURE (P1)/VACUUM (P2) SIDE IDENTIFICATION TABLE

Freescale designates the two sides of the pressure sensor

as the Pressure (P1) side and the Vacuum (P2) side. The

Pressure (P1) side is the side containing fluoro silicone gel

which protects the die from harsh media. The MPX pressure

sensor is designed to operate with positive differential

pressure applied, P1 > P2.

The Pressure (P1) side may be identified by using the

table below.

SURFACE MOUNTING INFORMATION

Minimum Recommended Footprint for Surface Mounted Applications

Surface mount board layout is a critical portion of the total

design. The footprint for the surface mount packages must be

the correct size to ensure proper solder connection interface

between the board and the package. With the correct

footprint, the packages will self align when subjected to a

solder reflow process. It is always recommended to design

boards with a solder mask layer to avoid bridging and

shorting between solder
