Honeywell 4AV17F Hall Effect Sensor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Honeywell 4AV17F is a digital Hall effect magnetic sensor with wire lead termination, designed for ferrous vane actuation in industrial applications. This component operates across a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 26.5V and features a slotted body package configuration. The 4AV17F is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute components for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. Substitute parts must maintain functional compatibility through matching electrical specifications, output characteristics, and mechanical form factors.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 4AV17F are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Sensor Type: Hall Effect Sensor with digital output
• Actuator Material: Ferrous Vane
• Termination Style: Wire Leads
• Package Configuration: Slotted Body
• Output Characteristic: Digital signal

Electrical Compatibility Range:

• Supply voltage overlap or containment within operational envelope
• Digital output compatibility

Regulatory & Compliance Alignment:

• RoHS Compliance status
• REACH Status classification
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: the 4AV19F (direct manufacturer series equivalent) and the SR16C-J6 (similar series alternative). Both components share the core functional architecture of the 4AV17F while offering active product status and maintained manufacturing support.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

4AV19F - Direct Manufacturer Substitute (Recommended Primary Choice)

The 4AV19F is the preferred substitute for the obsolete 4AV17F. Both components belong to the same 4AV series from Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions and share identical electrical specifications, including supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 26.5V) and operating temperature (288°C TA). The 4AV19F maintains active product status with current manufacturing support and inventory availability (1153 pcs in stock). Packaging is specified as Bulk. All regulatory certifications align: RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and MSL 1 (Unlimited). This substitution requires no circuit redesign or application modification.

SR16C-J6 - Similar Series Alternative (Secondary Choice)

The SR16C-J6 serves as a functional alternative when 4AV19F availability is constrained. This component operates within an extended supply voltage range (3.8V ~ 30V), which encompasses the 4AV17F operating envelope. However, the operating temperature specification differs significantly: SR16C-J6 is rated for -20°C ~ 85°C (TA), which is substantially lower than the 4AV17F specification of 288°C (TA). The SR16C-J6 is active in production with 1700 pcs inventory availability. All core functional parameters match: Hall Effect Sensor type, digital output, ferrous vane actuation, wire lead termination, and slotted body package. Regulatory compliance is equivalent: RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and MSL 1 (Unlimited). Selection of SR16C-J6 requires verification that application operating temperature does not exceed 85°C (TA).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is the 4AV17F obsolete, and what does this mean for existing applications?

The 4AV17F is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer, indicating discontinued production and limited future availability. Existing applications using this component should transition to active substitute parts to ensure long-term supply chain continuity. The 4AV19F provides direct functional replacement without application modification.

Q2: Can the 4AV19F be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the 4AV17F?

Yes. The 4AV19F is a direct substitute within the same 4AV series. Electrical specifications (supply voltage 4.5V ~ 26.5V, operating temperature 288°C TA), output type (digital), actuator material (ferrous vane), termination style (wire leads), and package configuration (slotted body) are identical. No circuit redesign is required.

Q3: What are the key differences between the 4AV19F and SR16C-J6?

Both components are Hall effect sensors with digital output, ferrous vane actuation, wire lead termination, and slotted body packaging. The primary differences are: (1) Series designation (4AV versus SR16), (2) Supply voltage range (4AV19F: 4.5V ~ 26.5V; SR16C-J6: 3.8V ~ 30V), and (3) Operating temperature (4AV19F: 288°C TA; SR16C-J6: -20°C ~ 85°C TA). The SR16C-J6 offers extended low-temperature capability but reduced high-temperature performance.

Q4: Which substitute should I select for a high-temperature application?

The 4AV19F is the appropriate choice for high-temperature applications, maintaining the 288°C (TA) operating temperature specification of the original 4AV17F. The SR16C-J6 is limited to -20°C ~ 85°C (TA) and is unsuitable for high-temperature environments.

Q5: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

Yes. Both the 4AV19F and SR16C-J6 are RoHS Compliant with REACH Unaffected status and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the compliance profile of the 4AV17F.

Q6: What is the current inventory status for substitute parts?

The 4AV19F has 1153 pcs in stock (Bulk packaging), and the SR16C-J6 has 1700 pcs in stock (Bulk packaging). Both components are actively manufactured and available for procurement.

Q7: Does the extended voltage range of the SR16C-J6 (3.8V ~ 30V) provide an advantage over the 4AV19F?

The SR16C-J6 voltage range is broader and encompasses the 4AV19F specification. However, this advantage is application-dependent. If your circuit operates within the 4.5V ~ 26.5V range, both components are functionally equivalent. The SR16C-J6 provides additional margin only if your application requires operation below 4.5V or above 26.5V.

Q8: Can I use the SR16C-J6 in place of the 4AV19F in all applications?

Substitution of SR16C-J6 for 4AV19F requires verification that application operating temperature does not exceed 85°C (TA). If your application operates within the -20°C ~ 85°C temperature range and the supply voltage is within 3.8V ~ 30V, the SR16C-J6 is functionally compatible. For applications requiring operation above 85°C, the 4AV19F is mandatory.

Q9: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

The 4AV19F is supplied in Bulk packaging. The SR16C-J6 is also supplied in Bulk packaging. Both components maintain the slotted body case configuration of the original 4AV17F.

Q10: Are there any ECCN or HTSUS code differences between the substitute parts?

The 4AV17F and 4AV19F share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8543.70.4500) classifications. The SR16C-J6 carries ECCN EAR99 but a different HTSUS code (8543.70.9860). Verify applicable export and tariff requirements for your jurisdiction when selecting between these components.
