what nozzle to pick up MPXM2053GS

During the SMT process, air may get blown into the pressure port from the pick-and-place nozzle, will the sensor inside be damaged?

So you’d need to ensure that any forces from the handling don’t exceed the Absolute Maximum ratings.

Hi, Andrew, 

Thanks for the reply. We have encountered failures (the output is zero) with this component and suspect the issue stems from either the nozzle or contamination introduced during the SMT process. Could we send a few failed samples to ST to help identify the root cause?
