AS33-M50M-S73 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AS33-M50M-S73 is a 33mm magnetic encoder module manufactured by Broadcom, designed for chassis mount and motor applications with SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) output. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for system maintenance, redesign, and procurement planning. The part operates within a 7V to 12.5V supply voltage range and features an external magnet actuator configuration with vertical orientation and connector-based termination.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AS33-M50M-S73 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

  • Encoder Type: Magnetic technology for sensor operation
  • Output Type: SSI interface for signal transmission
  • Voltage Supply Range: 7V ~ 12.5V operational window
  • Actuator Configuration: External magnet, not included
  • Mounting Specification: Chassis mount, motors
  • Orientation: Vertical mounting position
  • Termination: Connector-based interface
  • RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant status

The AS33-M42M-S73 qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering an active product status with current manufacturing support.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AS33-M42M-S73 is the designated substitute for the obsolete AS33-M50M-S73. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

  • Product Status Alignment: The substitute maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
  • Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 Compliant certification, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements
  • Electrical Compatibility: Identical supply voltage range (7V ~ 12.5V) and SSI output interface ensure direct functional equivalence
  • Mechanical Compatibility: Matching mounting type, orientation, termination style, and actuator configuration enable direct replacement in existing applications
  • Manufacturing Support: Active product status of the substitute provides access to current technical documentation and manufacturing support

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AS33-M42M-S73 directly replace the AS33-M50M-S73 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (7V ~ 12.5V supply, SSI output), mechanical mounting (chassis mount, vertical orientation, connector termination), and actuator configuration (external magnet, not included). Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the AS33-M50M and AS33-M42M series?

A: The primary difference is product status. The AS33-M50M-S73 is obsolete, while the AS33-M42M-S73 is active. The AS33-M42M series offers programmable pulses per revolution, whereas the AS33-M50M specification does not list this parameter. Both maintain identical supply voltage, output type, and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The AS33-M50M-S73 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. The AS33-M42M-S73 is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification before ordering.

Q: Does the external magnet actuator come with either part?

A: No. Both the AS33-M50M-S73 and AS33-M42M-S73 specify "External Magnet, Not Included." The magnet must be sourced separately and is not included with either encoder module.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the AS33-M50M-S73 and AS33-M42M-S73 are ROHS3 Compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.
