HAL 500-S Hall Effect Current Sensor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HAL 500-S is an active Hall Effect open-loop current sensor manufactured by LEM USA Inc., designed for AC/DC current measurement applications up to 500A. This single-channel module provides voltage output with bidirectional polarization capability and operates across industrial temperature ranges. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected designation, making it suitable for regulated industrial and automotive applications. Substitute parts within the HAL series are identified based on identical electrical and mechanical characteristics, with variation limited to current-sensing range specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HAL 500-S are identified from the HAL series family manufactured by LEM USA Inc. Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters except current-sensing range. The following parameters remain identical across all substitute parts and establish the substitution basis:

Invariant Parameters (Identical Across All Substitutes):

• Sensor Type: Hall Effect, Open Loop
• Number of Channels: 1
• Output Type: Voltage
• Frequency Range: DC ~ 50kHz
• Linearity: ±0.5%
• Accuracy: ±1%
• Voltage - Supply: ±15V
• Response Time: 3µs
• Current - Supply (Max): 25mA
• Operating Temperature: -25°C ~ 85°C
• Polarization: Bidirectional
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Package / Case: Module
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 9030.33.3800
• Product Status: Active
• Packaging: Bulk

Variable Parameter (Substitution Criterion):

• Current - Sensing: 50A, 200A, 300A, 500A

Substitute parts are applicable when application requirements permit operation at alternative current-sensing ranges within the HAL series specification envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts within the HAL series maintain Active product status with identical RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Selection between HAL 500-S, HAL 300-S, HAL 200-S, and HAL 50-S is determined exclusively by application current-measurement requirements.

Selection Criteria:

• HAL 500-S: Applications requiring measurement of currents up to 500A
• HAL 300-S: Applications requiring measurement of currents up to 300A
• HAL 200-S: Applications requiring measurement of currents up to 200A
• HAL 50-S: Applications requiring measurement of currents up to 50A

All parts share identical electrical performance characteristics (linearity ±0.5%, accuracy ±1%, response time 3µs, frequency range DC ~ 50kHz) and mechanical specifications (chassis mount, module package, bidirectional polarization). Regulatory compliance is uniform across the series. Part selection is based on matching the current-sensing range to the maximum current level present in the target application circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HAL 200-S substitute for HAL 500-S in a 400A measurement application?

A: No. The HAL 200-S current-sensing range is limited to 200A maximum. Application of this part in a 400A circuit exceeds its specified measurement capability.

Q: Are all HAL series parts mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All substitute parts share identical mounting type (Chassis Mount), package configuration (Module), and physical specifications. Mechanical interchangeability is confirmed across HAL 50-S, HAL 200-S, HAL 300-S, and HAL 500-S.

Q: Do substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance?

A: Yes. Linearity (±0.5%), accuracy (±1%), response time (3µs), frequency range (DC ~ 50kHz), supply voltage (±15V), and maximum supply current (25mA) are identical across all substitute parts. Variation is limited to current-sensing range specification only.

Q: Are all HAL series parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry RoHS Compliant status and REACH Unaffected designation. Regulatory compliance is uniform across the series.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for substitute parts?

A: All HAL series parts operate across -25°C to 85°C. Operating temperature specification is identical for HAL 50-S, HAL 200-S, HAL 300-S, and HAL 500-S.

Q: Can HAL 500-S be used in applications requiring only 50A measurement?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. However, application of a 500A-rated sensor in a 50A circuit represents oversizing. The HAL 50-S provides equivalent performance at the specified current range.

Q: What packaging format is used for all HAL series parts?

A: All substitute parts are supplied in Bulk packaging as Module configurations. Packaging format is consistent across HAL 50-S, HAL 200-S, HAL 300-S, and HAL 500-S.
