Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Honeywell 26PCAEB2G Pressure Sensor

Part Overview

The Honeywell 26PCAEB2G is a compound pressure sensor designed for board mount applications, featuring a ±1PSI (±6.89kPa) measurement range with Wheatstone Bridge output. This component operates across a -40°C to 85°C temperature range and delivers 0 mV to 16.7 mV output at 10V supply voltage. The 26PCAEB2G carries an obsolete product status, making identification of functionally equivalent active alternatives essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 26PCAEB2G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Pressure Measurement Specifications: Operating pressure of ±1PSI (±6.89kPa) and maximum pressure rating of ±20PSI (±137.9kPa) must be identical.

Electrical Output Characteristics: Wheatstone Bridge output type with 0 mV to 16.7 mV range at 10V supply voltage must be maintained. Supply voltage range of 2.5V to 16V and accuracy of ±0.5% are non-negotiable.

Physical Interface: Male barbed port configuration with 0.18" (4.57mm) tube diameter must match exactly for pneumatic compatibility.

Thermal Performance: Operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C with temperature compensation feature must be preserved.

Mechanical Packaging: 4-DIP Through Hole module format is required for board mount applications.

Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating must be maintained.

The 26PCAFB2G meets all substitution criteria and represents the active product line equivalent to the obsolete 26PCAEB2G.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 26PCAFB2G is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 26PCAEB2G. Both components share identical electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications within the 26PC series. The primary distinction is product status: the 26PCAEB2G is obsolete while the 26PCAFB2G maintains active production status.

For applications currently using the 26PCAEB2G, transition to the 26PCAFB2G ensures continued component availability and manufacturer support. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, satisfying regulatory requirements for board mount pressure sensing applications.

The 26PCAFB2G is available in higher inventory quantities (791 units) compared to remaining 26PCAEB2G stock (1049 units), supporting both immediate replacement needs and long-term supply chain planning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 26PCAFB2G directly replace the 26PCAEB2G in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 26PCAFB2G is electrically and mechanically identical to the 26PCAEB2G. Both components feature identical pressure ranges (±1PSI), output characteristics (0 mV to 16.7 mV Wheatstone Bridge), port configurations (0.18" barbed male), and 4-DIP Through Hole packaging. No circuit modifications or mechanical redesign is required.

Q: Why is the 26PCAEB2G listed as obsolete?

A: The 26PCAEB2G has reached end-of-life status in Honeywell's product portfolio. The 26PCAFB2G represents the active continuation of this product line with identical specifications. Existing inventory of the 26PCAEB2G remains available, but new designs should specify the 26PCAFB2G for long-term supply assurance.

Q: Are there any differences in temperature compensation between these parts?

A: No. Both the 26PCAEB2G and 26PCAFB2G include temperature compensation and operate across the identical -40°C to 85°C range. Thermal performance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL Level 1 rating?

A: MSL Level 1 indicates unlimited shelf life with no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Both components can be stored indefinitely without special humidity controls or baking procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Can these sensors be used interchangeably in compound pressure applications?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for compound pressure measurement (positive and negative gauge pressure). The ±1PSI operating range and ±20PSI maximum pressure rating apply to both parts, making them suitable for identical application environments.

Q: What supply voltage should be used for optimal output?

A: Both components accept 2.5V to 16V supply voltage. At 10V supply, the output range is 0 mV to 16.7 mV. The specific supply voltage selection depends on system requirements and signal conditioning circuitry.
