HX 10-P Hall Effect Current Sensor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HX 10-P is a Hall Effect open-loop bidirectional current sensor manufactured by LEM USA Inc., designed for AC/DC current measurement applications with a 10A sensing range. This component is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it has been superseded in the manufacturer's product roadmap. Organizations using this part in active applications require documented equivalent and substitute options to ensure supply chain continuity and design flexibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HX 10-P is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Sensor Type: Hall Effect, Open Loop
• Current - Sensing: 10A (exact match required for direct substitution)
• Number of Channels: 1
• For Measuring: AC/DC
• Output Type: Ratiometric, Voltage
• Voltage - Supply: ±15V
• Polarization: Bidirectional
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Module

Parametric Equivalent Parts (HX 03-P, HX 05-P) share identical electrical characteristics, compliance certifications, and mechanical interfaces with the HX 10-P, with the exception of current sensing range. These parts are suitable for applications where the lower current rating (3A or 5A) satisfies the design requirement.

Similar Parts (L18P010D15 by Tamura) match the 10A current sensing specification and core Hall Effect topology but exhibit variations in frequency response (DC ~ 100kHz versus 50kHz), response time (5µs versus 3µs), and operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 80°C versus -25°C ~ 85°C). This part is classified as Obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct 10A Current Sensing Applications:

The HX 10-P and L18P010D15 both provide 10A current sensing capability. The HX 10-P remains the preferred selection due to its "Not For New Designs" status (indicating recent discontinuation with available inventory) compared to L18P010D15's "Obsolete" classification. Both parts are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

For Reduced Current Range Applications:

HX 03-P and HX 05-P are suitable substitutes when application requirements permit lower current sensing ranges (3A and 5A respectively). These parts share identical electrical performance characteristics, supply voltage requirements, response time, and operating temperature range with the HX 10-P. All three LEM USA Inc. parts maintain consistent RoHS compliance and product lifecycle status.

Frequency Response Considerations:

L18P010D15 extends frequency response to DC ~ 100kHz compared to the HX 10-P's 50kHz specification. This extended bandwidth may be advantageous for applications requiring DC measurement capability or higher frequency content analysis, though response time is 5µs versus 3µs.

Temperature Range Considerations:

L18P010D15 provides extended low-temperature operation to -30°C versus HX 10-P's -25°C minimum. The HX 10-P maintains a 5°C higher maximum operating temperature (85°C versus 80°C).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HX 03-P or HX 05-P directly replace HX 10-P in existing designs?

A: HX 03-P and HX 05-P are parametric equivalents with identical electrical characteristics and mechanical interfaces. Direct substitution is possible only if the application's maximum current requirement does not exceed 3A (HX 03-P) or 5A (HX 05-P). The 10A sensing range of HX 10-P cannot be replicated by lower-rated parts.

Q: What are the key differences between HX 10-P and L18P010D15?

A: Both parts provide 10A current sensing with Hall Effect open-loop topology. L18P010D15 offers extended frequency response (DC ~ 100kHz versus 50kHz) and lower temperature minimum (-30°C versus -25°C), but exhibits slower response time (5µs versus 3µs). L18P010D15 is classified as Obsolete, while HX 10-P is "Not For New Designs."

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes. HX 10-P, HX 03-P, HX 05-P, and L18P010D15 are all RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: What is the difference between "Not For New Designs" and "Obsolete" status?

A: "Not For New Designs" indicates the manufacturer has discontinued the part from new product roadmaps but maintains inventory and support for existing applications. "Obsolete" indicates the part is no longer manufactured or supported by the original manufacturer.

Q: Can L18P010D15 be used in applications requiring 50kHz frequency response?

A: L18P010D15 supports DC ~ 100kHz frequency response, which encompasses the 50kHz specification of HX 10-P. Substitution is technically feasible from a frequency perspective. However, the 5µs response time versus 3µs should be evaluated against application timing requirements.

Q: Are packaging differences significant between substitute parts?

A: HX 10-P, HX 03-P, and HX 05-P are supplied in Tray packaging. L18P010D15 is supplied in Bulk packaging. All parts use identical Through Hole mounting and Module package types, ensuring mechanical compatibility on PCBs.
