Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AA005-02 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Technology & Sensing Characteristics: The substitute must employ magnetoresistive technology with single-axis configuration and Wheatstone bridge output topology to maintain functional compatibility with existing circuit designs.

Electrical Specifications: The substitute must support the identical sensing range (1mT ~ 7mT) and supply voltage range (1V ~ 24V) to ensure proper operation within the original application environment.

Thermal Performance: The substitute must maintain the same operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 125°C) and include temperature compensation to preserve measurement accuracy across the full operational envelope.

Package & Mechanical Compatibility: The substitute must utilize the 8-SOIC package format with identical physical dimensions (0.154", 3.90mm Width) and surface mount mounting type to ensure PCB layout compatibility without redesign.

Series Designation: The substitute must belong to the AA series family to confirm design lineage and functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AA005-02E is a direct functional equivalent to the AA005-02 and serves as the primary substitute for obsolete part replacement.

Product Status Consideration: The AA005-02 is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain risk for ongoing production. The AA005-02E maintains active product status with NVE Corp/Sensor Products, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Compliance Advantage: The AA005-02E achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original AA005-02 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements or customer specifications mandating RoHS compliance, the AA005-02E provides regulatory alignment without functional compromise.

Electrical & Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters, sensing characteristics, and thermal specifications are identical between the two parts. The AA005-02E operates within the same sensing range, supply voltage envelope, and temperature range with equivalent temperature compensation.

Package & PCB Compatibility: Both parts utilize identical 8-SOIC packaging with matching physical dimensions and surface mount configuration. PCB layouts designed for the AA005-02 require no modification to accommodate the AA005-02E.

Inventory & Supply: The AA005-02E is available in significantly higher inventory (3687 Pcs) compared to the AA005-02 (973 Pcs), supporting both immediate replacement needs and long-term production planning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AA005-02E be used as a direct replacement for the AA005-02 without circuit modification?

A: Yes. The AA005-02E is electrically and functionally identical to the AA005-02 across all specified parameters. No circuit redesign or PCB layout changes are required. Both parts operate within the same voltage range (1V ~ 24V), sensing range (1mT ~ 7mT), and temperature envelope (-50°C ~ 125°C).

Q: What is the primary difference between the AA005-02 and AA005-02E?

A: The AA005-02E is the active production variant with ROHS3 compliance and higher inventory availability. The AA005-02 is obsolete. Both parts are functionally equivalent in all electrical and sensing specifications.

Q: Does the AA005-02E packaging format affect compatibility?

A: The AA005-02E is supplied in Tube packaging, while the AA005-02 packaging format was not specified. Both parts use the identical 8-SOIC package type with 0.154" (3.90mm) width. Tube packaging is a standard distribution format that does not affect component functionality or PCB mounting.

Q: Are there any thermal or performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the AA005-02 and AA005-02E operate across the identical temperature range (-50°C ~ 125°C) with temperature compensation. All sensing characteristics, including the 1mT ~ 7mT sensing range and Wheatstone bridge output, are identical.

Q: Why should I transition from AA005-02 to AA005-02E?

A: The AA005-02 is obsolete, creating long-term supply uncertainty. The AA005-02E is an active product with superior inventory availability and ROHS3 compliance. Transitioning to the AA005-02E ensures supply chain continuity and regulatory compliance without requiring any design changes.

Q: Is the AA005-02E suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The AA005-02E is ROHS3 compliant. The original AA005-02 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the AA005-02E is the appropriate selection.
