HAC 600-S Current Sensor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HAC 600-S is an active Hall Effect current sensor manufactured by LEM USA Inc., designed for AC/DC current measurement applications requiring 600A sensing capacity. This open-loop, bidirectional module delivers ratiometric voltage output with ±1% linearity and accuracy across a DC to 50kHz frequency range. The product maintains Active status with full RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Substitute parts are identified within the HAC series to address applications requiring lower current-sensing ranges or inventory availability considerations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts within the HAC series are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across all electrical and mechanical characteristics except current-sensing range. The HAC 600-S substitutes are limited to models that maintain identical specifications for:

• Sensor technology (Hall Effect, Open Loop)
• Output configuration (Ratiometric, Voltage)
• Frequency response (DC ~ 50kHz)
• Electrical performance (±1% linearity and accuracy)
• Supply voltage (±15V)
• Response time (7µs)
• Operating temperature range (-10°C ~ 80°C)
• Bidirectional polarization
• Mounting type (Chassis Mount)
• Module package format
• Regulatory compliance (RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected)

The current-sensing range is the primary differentiating parameter. Substitute models HAC 300-S and HAC 200-S are qualified equivalents for applications where lower current measurement thresholds are acceptable. These substitutes are interchangeable at the functional level within systems designed for their respective current ranges.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between HAC 600-S and its substitute models HAC 300-S or HAC 200-S is determined by application current requirements and system design specifications. All three models maintain Active product status with identical regulatory compliance profiles (RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 ECCN classification).

The HAC 600-S is specified for applications requiring full 600A measurement capacity. The HAC 300-S provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for systems with maximum current demands of 300A. The HAC 200-S serves applications with 200A or lower current measurement requirements.

Current supply consumption differs across the series: HAC 600-S draws maximum 25mA, while HAC 300-S and HAC 200-S each draw maximum 18mA. This parameter variation reflects the current-sensing range differentiation and does not affect functional substitution within appropriately designed systems.

All models share identical supply voltage (±15V), response time (7µs), frequency response (DC ~ 50kHz), linearity (±1%), accuracy (±1%), operating temperature range (-10°C ~ 80°C), and mechanical mounting specifications (Chassis Mount, Module package). Substitution is valid when the application current threshold does not exceed the substitute model's rated sensing capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HAC 300-S replace HAC 600-S in all applications?

A: HAC 300-S is a parametric equivalent for applications where the maximum current measurement requirement does not exceed 300A. If the system design requires measurement of currents above 300A, HAC 300-S is not suitable. All other electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between HAC 600-S, HAC 300-S, and HAC 200-S?

A: The current-sensing range is the primary differentiating parameter. HAC 600-S measures up to 600A, HAC 300-S up to 300A, and HAC 200-S up to 200A. All other specifications including output type, frequency response, accuracy, linearity, supply voltage, response time, and mounting configuration are identical across all three models.

Q: Are all three models RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. HAC 600-S, HAC 300-S, and HAC 200-S are all RoHS Compliant with MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited) and REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Does current supply consumption affect substitution compatibility?

A: Current supply consumption is a secondary parameter that reflects the current-sensing range. HAC 600-S draws maximum 25mA, while HAC 300-S and HAC 200-S each draw maximum 18mA. This difference does not prevent substitution when the application current requirement is within the substitute model's rated range. System power supply design must accommodate the specific model's maximum current draw.

Q: Can HAC 200-S be used in place of HAC 600-S?

A: HAC 200-S is a parametric equivalent only for applications where the maximum current measurement requirement does not exceed 200A. The 200A sensing limit is a hard constraint. If the application requires measurement of currents above 200A, HAC 200-S cannot be substituted.

Q: Are the module packages identical across all three models?

A: Yes. HAC 600-S, HAC 300-S, and HAC 200-S all use Chassis Mount module packaging. Physical mounting and electrical interface compatibility are maintained across the series.

Q: What is the frequency response specification for all models?

A: All three models operate across DC to 50kHz frequency range with 7µs response time, ±1% linearity, and ±1% accuracy.
