Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the 4AV18F are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criteria include:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Sensor type: Hall effect with digital output
• Actuator material: Ferrous vane
• Termination: Wire leads
• Package configuration: Slotted body
• Supply voltage compatibility within operational range
• Operating temperature range suitability
• Regulatory compliance (RoHS, REACH)

Substitution Categories:

Direct Manufacturer Substitute (4AV19F): Shares identical electrical specifications, actuator material, termination style, and package configuration as the 4AV18F. Both components operate within the 4.5V to 26.5V supply voltage range and maintain the same slotted body package. The 4AV19F is classified as active product status, providing long-term availability advantage over the obsolete 4AV18F.

Similar Manufacturer Substitute (SR16C-J6): Operates as a functional equivalent with expanded supply voltage range (3.8V to 30V) and extended operating temperature range (-20°C to 85°C). This component maintains identical actuator material, termination style, and package configuration. The SR16C-J6 belongs to the SR16 series and carries active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (4AV19F):

The 4AV19F is the primary substitute for the obsolete 4AV18F. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including supply voltage range (4.5V to 26.5V), operating temperature (288°C TA), and package configuration. The 4AV19F carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. This component is recommended for applications requiring exact parameter matching with the original 4AV18F design.

For Extended Operating Range (SR16C-J6):

The SR16C-J6 functions as an alternative substitute when expanded operational parameters are acceptable. This component provides a wider supply voltage range (3.8V to 30V) and extended operating temperature range (-20°C to 85°C), offering greater flexibility in system design. The SR16C-J6 maintains the same actuator material, termination style, and slotted body package as the 4AV18F. Selection of this component requires verification that the application environment operates within the specified temperature range and that the expanded voltage range does not introduce compatibility issues with existing circuit design.

Both substitute components maintain full regulatory compliance with RoHS and REACH requirements, matching the compliance profile of the original 4AV18F.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4AV19F be used as a direct replacement for the 4AV18F in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 4AV19F shares identical electrical specifications (4.5V to 26.5V supply voltage, 288°C operating temperature), actuator material (ferrous vane), termination style (wire leads), and package configuration (slotted body) with the 4AV18F. No circuit modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary advantage of selecting the 4AV19F over the SR16C-J6?

A: The 4AV19F maintains exact parameter alignment with the 4AV18F across all specified electrical and mechanical characteristics. The SR16C-J6, while functionally equivalent, operates with different temperature and voltage specifications that may require system-level evaluation.

Q: Under what conditions would the SR16C-J6 be preferred over the 4AV19F?

A: The SR16C-J6 is suitable when the application requires expanded supply voltage range (3.8V to 30V) or operates within the extended temperature range (-20°C to 85°C). Applications operating outside the 4AV18F/4AV19F temperature specification (288°C TA) would require evaluation of the SR16C-J6 specifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 4AV19F and SR16C-J6 maintain RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the regulatory profile of the original 4AV18F.

Q: What is the packaging difference between the 4AV18F and 4AV19F?

A: The 4AV18F is supplied in standard packaging, while the 4AV19F is supplied in bulk packaging. Both components use identical slotted body package configuration. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can the SR16C-J6 be used in applications originally designed for the 4AV18F?

A: The SR16C-J6 is functionally compatible with the 4AV18F for applications operating within the SR16C-J6 specified temperature range (-20°C to 85°C). Applications requiring operation at 288°C (TA) as specified for the 4AV18F are not suitable for the SR16C-J6.
