HCS410T/SN Code Hopping Encoder and Transponder Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HCS410T/SN is a Code Hopping Encoder and Transponder integrated circuit manufactured by Microchip Technology, part of the KEELOQ® series. This device is designed for access control systems and operates as a surface-mount component in an 8-SOIC package configuration. The part is currently in active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format differs while maintaining identical electrical functionality and mechanical compatibility within the 8-SOIC form factor.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HCS410T/SN is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Base product number: HCS410
• Manufacturer: Microchip Technology
• Package type: 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Product status: Active
• Series designation: KEELOQ®
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The HCS410T/SN and HCS410/SN share identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions. The substitution relationship is based solely on packaging format differentiation: HCS410T/SN is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while HCS410/SN is supplied in Tube format. Both variants maintain the same 8-SOIC package geometry, pin configuration, and functional performance characteristics required for access control system applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both HCS410T/SN and HCS410/SN are active products from Microchip Technology with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by supply chain requirements and assembly process compatibility:

HCS410T/SN (Tape & Reel): Suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where tape-and-reel packaging integrates directly with pick-and-place equipment.

HCS410/SN (Tube): Suitable for lower-volume production runs, manual assembly processes, or applications where tube packaging is preferred for component handling and storage.

Both variants maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, and active product status. No electrical performance differentiation exists between the two packaging formats. Component selection should be based on manufacturing process requirements and inventory management protocols rather than functional considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are HCS410T/SN and HCS410/SN electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share the same base product number (HCS410), manufacturer (Microchip Technology), package type (8-SOIC), and functional specifications. The only difference is the packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Tube.

Q: Can HCS410/SN replace HCS410T/SN in production?

A: Yes, provided the assembly process can accommodate Tube packaging instead of Tape & Reel format. The physical component dimensions, pin configuration, and electrical performance are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the 8-SOIC package specification?

A: The 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) package defines the physical form factor and pin layout. Both substitute parts use this identical package, ensuring mechanical compatibility with PCB designs and assembly equipment.

Q: Does packaging format affect RoHS or REACH compliance?

A: No. Both HCS410T/SN and HCS410/SN maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status regardless of packaging format.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for component handling?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. Both variants carry this same MSL rating.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: Yes. HCS410T/SN has 920 pieces in stock, while HCS410/SN has 1351 pieces in stock. Availability may influence selection based on project timeline requirements.
