HMC1021Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HMC1021Z is a magnetoresistive sensor manufactured by Honeywell Aerospace, designed as a single-axis magnetic field sensor with Wheatstone bridge output configuration. This component operates across a sensing range of ±0.6mT with a bandwidth of 5MHz and is housed in an 8-pin SIP through-hole package.

The HMC1021Z is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary for ongoing system support, maintenance, and new design implementations where this sensor technology is required. Active alternatives with identical electrical and mechanical specifications are available to ensure design continuity.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HMC1021Z-RC is the direct substitute for HMC1021Z applications. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The HMC1021Z is obsolete, while HMC1021Z-RC maintains active product status with ongoing manufacturer support and availability.

Regulatory Compliance: HMC1021Z-RC is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, providing superior compliance posture for new designs and systems subject to environmental regulations. The original HMC1021Z is RoHS non-compliant.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters—magnetoresistive technology, single-axis configuration, Wheatstone bridge output, ±0.6mT sensing range, 2V ~ 25V supply voltage, 5MHz bandwidth, -40°C ~ 125°C operating temperature, and 8-pin SIP through-hole package—are identical between both parts.

Packaging and Availability: HMC1021Z-RC is supplied in tube packaging with 1591 pieces in stock, ensuring supply chain continuity.
