AB001-02 Magnetoresistive Sensor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AB001-02 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 equivalent substitute parts for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The sensor operates within a sensing range of 2mT to 20mT with supply voltage compatibility from 1V to 12.5V and includes temperature compensation across an operating range of -50°C to 125°C.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AB001-02 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Technology: Magnetoresistive
• Axis Configuration: Single
• Output Type: Wheatstone Bridge
• Sensing Range: 2mT ~ 20mT
• Voltage - Supply: 1V ~ 12.5V
• Operating Temperature: -50°C ~ 125°C (TA)
• Package / Case: 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Features: Temperature Compensated

The AB001-02E qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all mandatory parameters. The primary distinction is product status: AB001-02E is classified as active, whereas AB001-02 is obsolete. Both components share identical electrical specifications, thermal characteristics, and physical packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AB001-02E is the direct functional equivalent of the AB001-02 magnetoresistive sensor. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and procurement requirements rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

For New Designs and Ongoing Production: AB001-02E is the appropriate selection. This part carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. AB001-02E meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, satisfying current environmental regulations. Both components are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99.

For Legacy System Support: AB001-02 remains functionally equivalent for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and existing inventory is available. The obsolete status of AB001-02 indicates limited future availability.

Compliance Consideration: AB001-02E provides ROHS3 compliance, whereas AB001-02 does not. This distinction is significant for applications subject to environmental regulations or customer compliance mandates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AB001-02E be used as a direct replacement for AB001-02 in existing designs?

A: Yes. AB001-02E is electrically and mechanically equivalent to AB001-02. Both components feature identical sensing range (2mT ~ 20mT), supply voltage range (1V ~ 12.5V), operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 125°C), and 8-SOIC package configuration. Pin-to-pin compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the primary difference between AB001-02 and AB001-02E?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. AB001-02 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while AB001-02E is active and ROHS3 compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between AB001-02 and AB001-02E?

A: AB001-02E is supplied in Tube packaging, whereas AB001-02 packaging is not specified in available documentation. Both components use the same 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) physical package suitable for surface mount assembly.

Q: Is AB001-02E suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. AB001-02E is ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications with RoHS requirements. AB001-02 is RoHS non-compliant and should not be used in applications requiring RoHS certification.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: AB001-02 has 793 pieces in stock (new original). AB001-02E has 786 pieces in stock (new original). Both are available for immediate procurement.

Q: Are both parts manufactured by the same company?

A: Yes. Both AB001-02 and AB001-02E are manufactured by NVE Corp/Sensor Products and belong to the AB series of magnetoresistive sensors.
