HY 15-P Hall Effect Current Sensor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HY 15-P is a Hall Effect open-loop bidirectional current sensor manufactured by LEM USA Inc., designed for AC/DC current measurement applications up to 15A. This component features ratiometric voltage output, operates across DC to 50kHz frequency range, and is housed in a through-hole module package.

The HY 15-P carries a "Not For New Designs" product status designation. This status necessitates identification of equivalent substitute parts for ongoing production requirements, maintenance applications, and design continuity where this sensor remains functionally appropriate.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HY 15-P are identified within the LEM USA Inc. HY series based on the following allowed parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

  • Identical sensor technology: Hall Effect, open-loop configuration
  • Identical output type: Ratiometric voltage output
  • Identical polarization: Bidirectional
  • Identical frequency range: DC ~ 50kHz
  • Identical linearity and accuracy: ±1%
  • Identical supply voltage range: ±12V ~ 15V
  • Identical response time: 3µs
  • Identical supply current: 10mA maximum
  • Identical operating temperature range: -10°C ~ 80°C
  • Identical mounting type: Through hole
  • Identical package type: Module
  • Identical compliance status: RoHS Compliant

Variable Parameter:

  • Current-sensing rating: The HY series provides models rated for 5A, 10A, and 15A

The HY 10-P and HY 5-P are parametric equivalents that differ only in current-sensing capacity. Selection between these models depends on the maximum current measurement requirement of the application circuit.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of substitute parts from the HY series must be based on the maximum current measurement requirement of the application:

HY 15-P Selection: Use when the application requires current measurement capability up to 15A. This part maintains the highest current-sensing range within the series.

HY 10-P Selection: Use when the application maximum current requirement does not exceed 10A. This part provides equivalent electrical and mechanical characteristics with reduced current-sensing capacity.

HY 5-P Selection: Use when the application maximum current requirement does not exceed 5A. This part provides equivalent electrical and mechanical characteristics with the lowest current-sensing capacity in the series.

All three parts maintain identical compliance certifications (RoHS Compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 ECCN classification) and are suitable for applications requiring Hall Effect open-loop bidirectional current sensing with ratiometric voltage output across the DC to 50kHz frequency range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HY 10-P substitute for HY 15-P in all applications?

A: The HY 10-P is a parametric equivalent only for applications where the maximum current measurement requirement does not exceed 10A. If the application circuit requires measurement capability up to 15A, the HY 10-P is not suitable.

Q: What is the primary difference between HY 15-P, HY 10-P, and HY 5-P?

A: The sole difference is the current-sensing rating. HY 15-P measures up to 15A, HY 10-P measures up to 10A, and HY 5-P measures up to 5A. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are all three parts pin-compatible?

A: All three parts share identical mounting type (through hole), package type (module), and packaging format (tray). Pin compatibility must be verified against the specific application circuit design.

Q: Do these parts have identical supply voltage requirements?

A: Yes. All three parts operate with identical supply voltage range of ±12V ~ 15V and identical maximum supply current of 10mA.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the three parts?

A: No. All three parts carry identical RoHS Compliant status, REACH Unaffected designation, and EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: What is the frequency response capability of these sensors?

A: All three parts operate across DC to 50kHz frequency range with identical 3µs response time.
