Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HSS-L2C-100 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Functional Parameters:

• Output Type: SPST-NC (Switch configuration must remain identical)
• Type: Ball Switch (Magnetic actuation mechanism)
• Actuator Material: Magnet (Sensing method must be consistent)
• Termination Style: Wire Leads (Connection method must match)

Environmental Parameters:

• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 80°C (Thermal operating envelope)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (Environmental protection classification)

Classification Parameters:

• Category: Magnetic Sensors
• Series: HSS L2
• Package / Case: Module

Regulatory Parameters:

• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS Code: 8536.50.9065

The substitute part HSS-L2C-101-GO maintains full equivalence across all specified parameters, ensuring functional and environmental compatibility with the original HSS-L2C-100 component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HSS-L2C-101-GO be used as a direct replacement for the HSS-L2C-100?

A: Yes. The HSS-L2C-101-GO is functionally and environmentally equivalent to the HSS-L2C-100 across all specified parameters, including output type (SPST-NC), actuator material (Magnet), termination style (Wire Leads), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 80°C), and package classification (Module). Direct substitution is supported.

Q: What is the difference between the HSS-L2C-100 and HSS-L2C-101-GO?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. The HSS-L2C-100 is Obsolete with unspecified RoHS status. The HSS-L2C-101-GO is Active with ROHS3 Compliant certification. All functional and environmental parameters remain identical.

Q: Why is the HSS-L2C-100 listed as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production of this part number. The HSS-L2C-101-GO represents the current active equivalent within the HSS L2 series.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The HSS-L2C-100 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The HSS-L2C-101-GO is packaged in Box format. Both components are classified as Module package type. Verify packaging requirements for your specific application.

Q: Does the HSS-L2C-101-GO meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The HSS-L2C-101-GO is ROHS3 Compliant. This certification applies to applications requiring compliance with European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 2011/65/EU as amended by Directive (EU) 2015/863.

Q: What is the current inventory status for the HSS-L2C-101-GO?

A: 739 pieces of new original HSS-L2C-101-GO are currently in stock.

Q: Are there any electrical parameter differences between these parts?

A: No electrical parameter differences exist. Both parts share identical output type (SPST-NC), actuator material (Magnet), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 80°C). Voltage supply and actuation threshold specifications are not provided for either part.
