MP-1.20 Ultra miniature pressure sensor

Ultra-small absolute pressure sensor with a 1.2 mm diameter, designed for harsh and high-temperature environments up to 185 °C. Ideal for aerodynamic, automotive, and biomedical testing applications.


Key features

  • Outer diameter 1.2mm
  • From 0 to 7 bar / Absolute pressure sensor
  • Burst pressure 5 bar
  • Wide temperature range up to 100°C or 185°C (depending on model)
  • Harsh environment
  • Customized solution possible
  • mVolt output
  • Highest resonance frequency on the market
  • Amplification can be done for a special request
  • Temperature measurement/compensation available. Please read our tutorial

Performance highlights

The MP-1.20 is one of the world’s smallest high-temperature absolute pressure sensors.
With a miniature 1.2 mm outer diameter and a resonance frequency of 2.7 MHz, it delivers fast and stable measurements in aerodynamic and thermal applications. Its mV output enables direct integration into precision measurement systems for high-frequency pressure dynamics.

Usage conditions

Available in two versions:

  • ST – standard temperature up to 100 °C
  • HT – high-temperature version up to 185 °C

Both models are built for harsh environments where miniaturization and robust signal stability are essential.

Possible applications

  • Aerodynamic testing and wind tunnels
  • Automotive instrumentation and component validation
  • Industrial process monitoring and pumps
  • Biomedical pressure measurement systems
  • Oil and gas field instrumentation

Advantages of choosing this product

Its unique miniature form factor enables measurements in areas inaccessible to conventional sensors.
The MP-1.20 offers a combination of extreme temperature resistance, fast response, and high resonance frequency, making it a preferred choice for OEM and R&D applications requiring precision under pressure.

Other important features

  • Available with unshielded (UAA-3601) or shielded (TAU-3607.04) 1 m cable
  • Supplied with a calibration sheet (pressure vs mV @ 25 °C / 5 V)
  • Optional signal amplification and temperature compensation
  • Customized pressure ranges on request

Temperature measurement/compensation available. Please read our tutorial.
