Handling Recommendations

It is recommended to handle the MPL115A pressure sensor with a vacuum pick and place tool. Sharp objects utilized to move

the MPL115A pressure sensor increase the possibility of damage via a foreign object/tool into the small exposed port.

The sensor die is sensitive to light exposure. Direct light exposure through the port hole can lead to varied accuracy of pressure

measurement. Avoid such exposure to the port during normal operation.

Please note that the Pin 1 designator is on the bottom of the package. Do not use the port as a orientation reference in production.

Soldering/Landing Pad Information

The LGA package is compliant with the RoHS standard. It is recommended to use a no-clean solder paste to reduce cleaning

exposure to high pressure and chemical agents that can damage or reduce life span of the Pressure sensing element.
