Honeywell F58000233 Linear Position Sensor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Honeywell F58000233 is a resistive linear position sensor designed for measuring linear displacement across a 76.2mm (3.00") range. The sensor features a round shaft actuator with wire lead termination and operates across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 80°C. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Honeywell F58000233 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Functional Parameters:

• Linear measurement range: 0 ~ 76.20mm (0 ~ 3.00")
• Output technology: Resistive
• Resistance value: 3 kOhms
• Termination: Wire Leads
• Package form: Cylinder with wire leads

Mechanical Parameters:

• Actuator configuration: Shaft-based design
• Physical form factor: Cylindrical housing

Electrical Parameters:

• Output signal type: Resistive (variable resistance output)
• Supply voltage compatibility: 30V maximum rating

The Sensata Technologies 603R3KL.25 satisfies these core functional and mechanical requirements, enabling direct substitution in applications requiring linear position measurement across the specified 76.2mm stroke with resistive output and wire lead connectivity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Sensata Technologies 603R3KL.25 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete Honeywell F58000233 for linear position measurement applications. Both components share identical measurement range (76.2mm), output technology (resistive), resistance value (3 kOhms), and termination style (wire leads).

Compliance Status:

• Honeywell F58000233: RoHS Compliant
• Sensata 603R3KL.25: ROHS3 Compliant

Both components meet environmental compliance requirements. The Sensata substitute is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for procurement and future supply chain continuity.

Parameter Variance: The Sensata 603R3KL.25 exhibits a linearity specification of ±0.25% compared to the Honeywell's ±0.1%. This represents a relaxation of measurement accuracy tolerance. Applications requiring the tighter ±0.1% linearity specification of the original Honeywell component should evaluate whether the ±0.25% linearity of the substitute meets system-level accuracy requirements.

The Sensata substitute operates across a wider temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) compared to the Honeywell original (-40°C ~ 80°C), providing extended thermal operating capability for applications in more extreme environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Sensata 603R3KL.25 directly replace the Honeywell F58000233 in existing applications?

A: Yes, the Sensata 603R3KL.25 provides functional equivalence for linear position measurement. Both components measure identical stroke length (76.2mm), employ resistive output technology, feature 3 kOhms resistance, and use wire lead termination. Mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible. However, the linearity specification differs (±0.25% vs. ±0.1%), which must be evaluated against application accuracy requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between these two sensors?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Linearity tolerance: Honeywell ±0.1% versus Sensata ±0.25%; (2) Operating temperature range: Honeywell -40°C to 80°C versus Sensata -55°C to 125°C; (3) Product status: Honeywell is obsolete while Sensata is active production; (4) Resistance tolerance specification: Honeywell specifies ±20% while Sensata does not specify this parameter.

Q: Does the wider operating temperature range of the Sensata sensor affect compatibility?

A: No. The Sensata 603R3KL.25 operates across -55°C to 125°C, which encompasses the Honeywell's -40°C to 80°C range. Applications operating within the original Honeywell temperature window will function within the Sensata's specified operating range.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Honeywell F58000233 is RoHS Compliant, and the Sensata 603R3KL.25 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet environmental compliance standards for restricted substance use.

Q: What is the significance of the linearity difference between ±0.1% and ±0.25%?

A: Linearity tolerance defines the maximum deviation of the sensor output from an ideal linear response across the measurement range. The Honeywell's ±0.1% specification provides tighter accuracy control than the Sensata's ±0.25%. For a 76.2mm range, this represents approximately 0.076mm maximum deviation (Honeywell) versus 0.191mm (Sensata). Applications with strict position measurement accuracy requirements must verify that ±0.25% linearity satisfies system specifications.

Q: Is the Sensata 603R3KL.25 available in the same packaging as the Honeywell original?

A: Both components use identical package form: Cylinder with wire leads. The Sensata is supplied in bulk packaging, while the Honeywell packaging specification was not provided. The physical form factor and termination style are compatible for direct mechanical and electrical integration.

Q: What supply voltage should be used with the Sensata substitute?

A: The Honeywell F58000233 specifies a maximum supply voltage of 30V. The Sensata 603R3KL.25 does not specify a supply voltage parameter in the provided data. Applications should maintain the 30V supply voltage used with the original Honeywell component to ensure proper sensor operation and longevity.
