GHS 10-SME Current Sensor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GHS 10-SME is an integrated primary current sensor manufactured by LEM USA Inc., designed for AC/DC current measurement applications. This Hall Effect, open loop bidirectional sensor provides a 10A sensing range with ratiometric voltage output in an 8-SOIC surface mount package.

The GHS 10-SME is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary for new designs, production continuity, and long-term system support where original inventory is depleted or unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GHS 10-SME is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Current sensing range: 10A
• Sensor technology: Hall Effect
• Output configuration: Ratiometric voltage output
• Number of channels: 1
• Polarization: Bidirectional
• Package type: 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Supply voltage range: 4.5V ~ 5.5V
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 125°C
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• RoHS compliance status

Allowable Parameter Variations: Substitute parts may exhibit differences in frequency response, linearity tolerance, accuracy tolerance, sensitivity specification, supply current consumption, and response time, provided the core functional parameters remain compatible with the application circuit design.

The GO 10-SME qualifies as a substitute based on matching all mandatory parameters while operating as an active product with enhanced specifications in certain performance characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

GO 10-SME as Primary Substitute:

The GO 10-SME is the qualified substitute for the obsolete GHS 10-SME. Both components are manufactured by LEM USA Inc. and share identical pinout, package geometry, and core electrical specifications required for direct circuit replacement.

Compliance and Support Status:

The GO 10-SME carries active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing support, availability, and compliance documentation. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical MSL ratings, supporting equivalent handling and storage requirements.

Performance Considerations:

The GO 10-SME provides extended frequency response (DC ~ 300kHz versus DC ~ 100kHz) and faster response time (2µs specified), representing performance enhancements over the original GHS 10-SME. These improvements are backward compatible with applications designed for the GHS 10-SME.

The GO 10-SME exhibits slightly wider linearity (±0.3% versus ±0.25%) and accuracy (±1.3% versus ±1.25%) tolerances. Applications requiring the tighter GHS 10-SME specifications must evaluate whether the GO 10-SME tolerance stack remains acceptable for the circuit design.

Supply current consumption increases from 14mA to 26mA maximum. Power supply design and thermal management must accommodate this higher current draw.

Packaging Availability:

The GO 10-SME is available in Tape & Reel packaging, supporting automated assembly processes. The GHS 10-SME packaging format is not specified in available data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GO 10-SME directly replace the GHS 10-SME in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pinout, package dimensions (8-SOIC), supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 5.5V), current sensing range (10A), output type (ratiometric voltage), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C). Direct PCB-level substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What are the key differences between GHS 10-SME and GO 10-SME?

A: The GO 10-SME provides extended frequency response (300kHz versus 100kHz), faster response time (2µs), and higher maximum supply current (26mA versus 14mA). Linearity and accuracy tolerances are slightly wider on the GO 10-SME. The GO 10-SME is an active product, while the GHS 10-SME is obsolete.

Q: Are there any circuit design changes required when substituting GO 10-SME for GHS 10-SME?

A: No circuit topology changes are required. However, power supply design should account for the increased maximum supply current (26mA for GO 10-SME). Applications with tight accuracy requirements (better than ±1.3%) should verify that the GO 10-SME tolerance stack remains acceptable.

Q: Do both parts have identical package dimensions and pinout?

A: Yes. Both the GHS 10-SME and GO 10-SME use the 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) package with identical pinout and footprint. PCB layout modifications are not required.

Q: What is the product status difference, and why does it matter?

A: The GHS 10-SME is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The GO 10-SME is an active product with ongoing manufacturing support, ensuring long-term component availability and compliance documentation for new designs and production runs.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the GHS 10-SME and GO 10-SME are RoHS compliant with identical MSL ratings (3, 168 Hours), supporting equivalent handling, storage, and reflow soldering processes.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The GO 10-SME should be selected for new designs. It is an active product with manufacturer support, enhanced performance specifications, and guaranteed long-term availability.
