Product description: SparkFun Qwiic MicroPressure Sensor - MPR pressure sensor - SparkFun SEN-16476
SparkFun Qwiic MicroPressure Sensor is a miniature pressure measurement module equipped with a 25 psi piezoresistive pressure sensor from Honeywell. It allows you to perform calibrated pressure measurements in the range from 60 mbar to 2.5 bar . There is a 24-bit I2C digital signal at the sensor output, which can be compensated in a specific temperature range to improve sensor performance, change sensitivity, temperature effects and non-linearity using the built-in IC.

What is Qwiic?
Qwiic SparkFun is an ecosystem that includes a wide range of sensors based on the I2C bus, executive modules and dedicated cables. The main assumption of this solution is to improve the process of prototyping and connecting components. All elements supporting the Qwiic standard use the same connector - a 4-pin JST connector with a spacing of 1 mm. The use of such a solution reduces the amount of space required on the printed circuit board and prevents connection contrary to the polarity.
