Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CAS 15-NP Primary Selection: The CAS 15-NP remains the primary specification when inventory availability and lead time are not constraints. Both parts carry identical Active product status and full compliance certifications (RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected).

CASR 15-NP Substitute Selection: The CASR 15-NP functions as a direct parametric equivalent for the CAS 15-NP. All electrical characteristics, mechanical specifications, and compliance certifications are identical. The CASR 15-NP series designation indicates a variant within the same product family. Selection between CAS 15-NP and CASR 15-NP is determined by availability, supply chain requirements, and procurement timelines. Both parts deliver identical performance in 15A AC/DC current sensing applications requiring flux gate closed-loop technology.

Compliance Verification: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status, suitable for applications subject to environmental and regulatory requirements. ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS code (9030.33.3800) are identical across both parts.
