HO 180-P Current Sensor Hall Effect 180A AC/DC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HO 180-P is an active Hall Effect current sensor manufactured by LEM USA Inc., designed for AC/DC current measurement applications requiring bidirectional sensing capability. This single-channel, open-loop module operates at 180A sensing range with ratiometric voltage output and is housed in a through-hole mountable module package. The product maintains Active status with full RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align within the allowed specifications for this Hall Effect sensor category, enabling component interchangeability in applications where current sensing range flexibility exists.

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Current Sensing Range: 180A (main part) vs. 120A (substitute part)

The HO 120-P qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical electrical performance characteristics, compliance certifications, and mechanical specifications while offering a reduced current sensing range of 120A. This substitution is valid for applications where the maximum current measurement requirement does not exceed 120A.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HO 180-P and HO 120-P maintain Active product status with identical compliance certifications, including RoHS compliance, REACH unaffected designation, and EAR99 ECCN classification. Selection between these parts is determined solely by application current measurement requirements. The HO 180-P provides maximum current sensing to 180A, while the HO 120-P limits sensing to 120A. Both parts share identical electrical performance metrics, thermal operating range, response characteristics, and mechanical mounting specifications. Component selection should be based on the maximum current value that requires measurement in the target application. Both parts are suitable for through-hole PCB mounting and deliver equivalent signal conditioning performance within their respective current ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HO 120-P substitute for the HO 180-P in all applications?

A: The HO 120-P substitutes for the HO 180-P only in applications where the maximum current to be measured does not exceed 120A. If the application requires current measurement capability up to 180A, the HO 180-P is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are the electrical output characteristics identical between HO 180-P and HO 120-P?

A: Yes. Both parts deliver identical ratiometric voltage output, frequency response (DC ~ 100kHz), linearity (±0.5%), accuracy (±1%), response time (3.5µs), and supply requirements (5V, 25mA maximum). The only difference is the maximum current sensing range.

Q: Do both parts use the same mounting footprint?

A: Yes. Both the HO 180-P and HO 120-P are through-hole mounted modules with identical package type (Module, Single Pass Through), ensuring mechanical compatibility on PCB designs.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS compliance status, REACH unaffected designation, EAR99 ECCN classification, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) rating.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both sensors?

A: Both the HO 180-P and HO 120-P operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Q: Can these sensors measure both AC and DC current?

A: Yes. Both the HO 180-P and HO 120-P are specified for AC/DC current measurement with bidirectional polarization capability.
