AA006-02 Magnetoresistive Sensor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AA006-02 is a magnetoresistive sensor manufactured by NVE Corp/Sensor Products, designed as a single-axis Wheatstone bridge magnetic sensor in an 8-SOIC surface mount package. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The sensor operates across a sensing range of 0.5mT to 3.5mT with supply voltage flexibility from 1V to 24V and includes temperature compensation across an operating range of -50°C to 125°C.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AA006-02 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Technology: Magnetoresistive
• Axis Configuration: Single
• Output Type: Wheatstone Bridge
• Sensing Range: 0.5mT ~ 3.5mT
• Voltage - Supply: 1V ~ 24V
• Operating Temperature: -50°C ~ 125°C (TA)
• Package / Case: 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Features: Temperature Compensated

The AA006-02E qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all mandatory parameters. The primary distinction is product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging format (Tube vs. standard packaging), with improved regulatory compliance (ROHS3 Compliant vs. RoHS non-compliant).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AA006-02E is the direct functional equivalent of the AA006-02 and is suitable for component replacement in all applications where the AA006-02 was originally specified. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Use AA006-02E when:

• New designs require active product status and long-term manufacturer support
• Regulatory compliance with ROHS3 standards is required
• Higher inventory availability is needed for production continuity
• Tube packaging format is compatible with assembly processes

Use AA006-02 when:

• Existing stock must be consumed prior to transition
• Legacy system maintenance requires exact original part matching
• RoHS non-compliant applications are acceptable

Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct pin-for-pin and functional compatibility without circuit modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AA006-02E be used as a direct replacement for AA006-02 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The AA006-02E is electrically and mechanically identical to the AA006-02. Both components feature the same Wheatstone bridge output, sensing range (0.5mT ~ 3.5mT), supply voltage range (1V ~ 24V), operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 125°C), and 8-SOIC package configuration. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between AA006-02 and AA006-02E?

A: The AA006-02E is the active production variant with ROHS3 compliance, while the AA006-02 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The AA006-02E is supplied in Tube packaging format. Functionally, both parts are equivalent.

Q: Are there any package compatibility concerns when substituting AA006-02 with AA006-02E?

A: Both parts use the 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) surface mount package. The only packaging difference is the delivery format (Tube vs. standard). PCB footprint and mounting requirements are identical.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these components?

A: Both the AA006-02 and AA006-02E have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements.

Q: Are these sensors RoHS compliant?

A: The AA006-02E is ROHS3 compliant. The AA006-02 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the AA006-02E must be specified.
