HS10 Linear Position Sensor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HS10 is a resistive linear position sensor manufactured by Micro-Measurements (Division of Vishay Precision Group). It features a round shaft actuator with wire lead termination, designed for measuring linear displacement across a 12.7mm range. The sensor operates on a 2V to 10V supply and delivers resistive output with ±0.35% linearity.

The HS10 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality, ensure supply chain continuity, and support legacy equipment maintenance where direct replacement is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HS10 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Micro-Measurements (Division of Vishay Precision Group)
• Technology: Resistive sensing
• Measurement Function: Linear position displacement
• Output Configuration: Resistive output
• Regulatory Classification: ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 9024.90.0080

The HS-A 10 is identified as a direct manufacturer substitute. Both parts originate from the same manufacturer and share the same regulatory classification codes (ECCN and HTSUS). The HS-A 10 is classified as active product status, providing continued availability for applications requiring linear displacement measurement through resistive sensing technology.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For HS10 Replacement Applications:

The HS-A 10 is the designated substitute for obsolete HS10 units. Selection is based on:

1. Manufacturer Continuity: Both parts are manufactured by Micro-Measurements (Division of Vishay Precision Group), ensuring consistent design philosophy and quality standards.

2. Regulatory Alignment: Identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (9024.90.0080) classifications confirm equivalent export control and tariff treatment.

3. Product Status: The HS-A 10 maintains active product status, providing assured supply availability and ongoing manufacturer support, contrasting with the obsolete HS10.

4. Compliance Consistency: Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliance status and MSL rating (1 - Unlimited), indicating equivalent environmental and moisture handling requirements.

5. Technology Foundation: Both sensors employ resistive measurement technology for linear displacement applications, maintaining functional compatibility within legacy systems.

When transitioning from HS10 to HS-A 10, verify mechanical mounting compatibility and electrical interface requirements specific to your application, as detailed specifications for the HS-A 10 should be cross-referenced with system integration documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the HS10 listed as obsolete?

A: The HS10 has reached end-of-life status within the Micro-Measurements product portfolio. The HS-A 10 represents the active successor within the manufacturer's linear sensor lineup.

Q: Is the HS-A 10 a direct pin-for-pin replacement for the HS10?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Micro-Measurements and share the same regulatory classifications. However, detailed mechanical and electrical specifications for the HS-A 10 must be reviewed against your specific application requirements to confirm compatibility.

Q: What are the key parameters that make HS-A 10 a suitable substitute?

A: The HS-A 10 qualifies as a substitute based on: identical manufacturer, shared regulatory codes (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 9024.90.0080), identical RoHS and MSL ratings, and resistive linear displacement measurement technology.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between HS10 and HS-A 10?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and share identical export control and tariff classifications. No compliance divergence exists between the two parts.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: HS10 inventory: 901 pieces (new original, in stock). HS-A 10 inventory: 872 pieces (new original, in stock). Both are available for immediate procurement.
