AFL100-00 Magnetic Switch Unipolar 8MSOP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AFL100-00 is a unipolar magnetoresistive digital switch manufactured by NVE Corp/Sensor Products in an 8-MSOP surface mount package. This component functions as an open collector magnetic switch with a sensing range of 1.3mT trip and 0.1mT release, designed for applications requiring low-voltage magnetic field detection in the -20°C to 85°C operating temperature range.

The AFL100-00 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support long-term production requirements for systems currently utilizing this component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AFL100-00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Functional Parameters: Function (Unipolar Switch), Technology (Magnetoresistive), and Polarization (South Pole) must be identical.

Electrical Parameters: Voltage supply range (1.8V ~ 2.5V), maximum supply current (45µA), maximum output current (100µA), and output type (Open Collector) must match exactly.

Sensing Parameters: Sensing range trip point (1.3mT) and release point (0.1mT) must be identical.

Environmental Parameters: Operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 85°C) must be maintained.

Physical Parameters: Mounting type (Surface Mount) and package designation (8-MSOP) must be identical.

Only parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Parts differing in any parameter are not interchangeable and require circuit redesign validation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AFL100-00E is the direct substitute for AFL100-00. Both parts are manufactured by NVE Corp/Sensor Products and share identical electrical, functional, and physical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance:

AFL100-00 is classified as obsolete and carries RoHS non-compliant status. This part should not be selected for new designs or long-term production commitments.

AFL100-00E is classified as active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. This part is suitable for new designs, production continuity, and systems requiring regulatory compliance with modern environmental standards.

For existing systems currently using AFL100-00, direct substitution with AFL100-00E is electrically and mechanically valid without circuit modification. The AFL100-00E is available in tube packaging and maintains full compatibility with existing PCB layouts and assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AFL100-00E replace AFL100-00 in existing designs without modification?

A: Yes. AFL100-00E is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute. All functional parameters, electrical specifications, sensing characteristics, and package dimensions are identical. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from AFL100-00 to AFL100-00E?

A: AFL100-00 is obsolete product status with RoHS non-compliant classification. AFL100-00E is active product with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment for production systems.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical between AFL100-00 and AFL100-00E?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 8-MSOP package with identical dimensions of 0.118" width and 3.00mm width specification. PCB footprints and assembly processes are interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: AFL100-00 packaging type is not specified in available documentation. AFL100-00E is supplied in tube packaging. This affects handling and automated assembly processes but does not impact electrical performance or compatibility.

Q: Are the sensing thresholds identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical trip point (1.3mT) and release point (0.1mT) specifications. Magnetic field detection behavior is equivalent.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-reliability applications?

A: AFL100-00E is the appropriate selection for high-reliability applications due to active product status and ROHS3 compliance. AFL100-00 should not be used in new designs or applications requiring long-term supply assurance.
