7 Mounting recommendations MEMS sensors in general are high-precision measurement devices which consist of electronic as well as mechanical silicon structures. Bosch Sensortec MEMS sensor devices are designed for precision, efficiency and mechanical robustness. However, in order to achieve best possible results for your design, the following recommendations should be taken into consideration when mounting a pressure sensor on a printed-circuit board (PCB).

The BMP3xy shall not be placed close to fast heating parts. In case of temperature changes > 3.0°C/sec during operation. It is recommended to follow Bosch Sensortec application note “Correction of errors induced by fast temperature changes”. Please contact your Bosch Sensortec representative for details ...

The scenarios described below – given as examples – may lead to a bending of the PCB, which as a consequence, might influence the performance of a sensor mounted on the PCB. Please note that this possible behavior is not limited to Bosch Sensortec devices, but may as well occur with 3 party MEMS devices in a similar manner.
Bosch Sensortec"| BMP3xy HSMI 12 | 20 Push-button contacts Keep a reasonable distance to push-button contacts, when placing the sensor device. Do not position the sensor directly beneath a push-button contact. Hot-spots on the PCB Keep a reasonable distance from any hot spots, when placing the sensor device. Hot spots can be for example other integrated circuits with high power consumption.
Bosch Sensortec"| BMP3xy HSMI 13 | 20 PCB anchor points Please keep a reasonable distance from any anchor points, where the PCB is fixed at a base plate (e.g. like a shelf or similar), when placing the sensor device. Resin coatings Please avoid total and partial covering of the BMP3xy sensor with any protective material like for example epoxy resin.
Bosch Sensortec"| BMP3xy HSMI 14 | 20 Minimum distance between sensor and PCB The distance between the sensor and the PCB after the soldering process must be at least 50µm. Underfill and cleaning materials Please avoid all kinds of foreign materials under the sensor, e.g. underfill and cleaning materials.
Bosch Sensortec"| BMP3xy HSMI 15 | 20 Redundant PCB anchor points It is recommended to unscrew or remove any redundant PCB anchor points. In theory, an ideal flat plane is determined by 3 anchor points, exclusively. Any further anchor point will over-determine the ideal flat plane criteria. If these redundant anchor points are out of plane position (which means not 100% exact in plane position) the ideal flat criteria is infringed, resulting in mechanical stress.
Bosch Sensortec"| BMP3xy HSMI 16 | 20 Integration into water resistant devices When operating the sensor inside a water resistant device (e.g. IPX5 or higher rated), special care must be taken, if a fast response to changes in ambient air pressure is needed.
Bosch Sensortec"| BMP3xy HSMI 17 | 20 7.2 Automatic handling When picking up the component from the Tape and Reel carrier, we recommend that you place the pick-up tool at a vertical-height distance from the sensor. When picking up the component from the Tape and Reel carrier, it is recommended that you place the pick-up tool at a vertical-height distance from the sensor.
