MPX10DP Differential Pressure Sensor
MPX10DP Differential Pressure Sensor
These pressure sensors consist of a pressure-sensitive element to determine the actual pressure applied to the sensor and some components to convert this information into an output signal.
The MPX10DP is a dual-port uncompensated Silicon Pressure Sensor for environmental control systems and level indicators. The MPX10 series silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor provides a very accurate and linear voltage output, directly proportional to the applied pressure. This standard uncompensated sensor permits manufacturers to design and add their own external temperature compensation and signal conditioning networks.
This sensor has on-chip temperature compensation and is laser-calibrated. As the output voltage is linear with the pressure the signal is particularly easy to interpret. The excellent characteristics of these sensors are useful for many applications such as flow measurement, level indicators, pressure-operated switches and weather stations

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does an MPX10DP differential pressure sensor do?
- The MPX10DP differential pressure sensor, which is used at two different points in the exhaust manifold, measures the pressure drop between two points in the flow pattern. It reports the particle filter's charge status and monitors its operation at one point.
2. How do you test a differential pressure sensor?
- If everything passes physical inspection, you can test the differential pressure sensor using a multimeter set to 20V and a pressure gauge.
3. What are the features of the MPX10DP Differential Pressure Sensor?
- The silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor in the MPX10 series produces a very accurate and linear voltage output that is directly proportional to the applied pressure. Manufacturers can design and add their external temperature compensation and signal conditioning networks to this standard uncompensated sensor.
4. Where can the MPX10DP Differential Pressure Sensor be used?
- The MPX10DP is a dual-port, uncompensated Silicon Pressure Sensor designed for use in environmental control systems and level indicators. It is useful for many applications such as Flow measurement, Level indicators, Air Movement Control, Pressure-operated switches, Weather stations, Pneumatic Control Systems
