Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AH373-SAC-7 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Package Compatibility: Both parts must use SOT-23-3 surface mount packaging to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Functional Equivalence: Both parts must operate as latching Hall Effect magnetic switches with open drain output
• Sensing Characteristics: Identical sensing range (6mT trip, -6mT release) and South Pole polarization
• Output Configuration: Open drain output type with matching electrical characteristics
• Temperature Compensation: Both parts include temperature compensation feature
• Operating Temperature Range: Full overlap within -40°C ~ 125°C specification
• Compliance Standards: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status maintained

The AH3782-SA-7 meets all substitution criteria as an active product from the same manufacturer with identical functional specifications and package form factor.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AH3782-SA-7 is the direct substitute for the obsolete AH373-SAC-7. Both components share identical functional specifications, sensing characteristics, and package form factor. The AH3782-SA-7 maintains active product status with manufacturer support and improved electrical performance specifications.

Key considerations for component selection:

• Supply Voltage Range: The AH3782-SA-7 supports an extended supply voltage range (3V ~ 28V) compared to the AH373-SAC-7 (2.2V ~ 20V), providing greater design flexibility
• Output Current Capability: The AH3782-SA-7 provides higher maximum output current (60mA versus 25mA), enabling direct drive of additional load circuits
• Supply Current: The AH3782-SA-7 exhibits slightly higher supply current consumption (5.8mA maximum versus 4mA)
• Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements
• Availability: The AH3782-SA-7 is actively manufactured with higher inventory availability
