KMI23/4Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KMI23/4Z is a magnetoresistive rotary position sensor manufactured by NXP USA Inc., designed for automotive applications requiring external magnet actuation. This through-hole mounted sensor provides analog voltage output with clockwise increase signal characteristics, operating across the automotive temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.

The KMI23/4Z is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain reliability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this sensor technology.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the KMI23/4Z is evaluated based on the following critical parameters that define functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: NXP USA Inc. (same manufacturer ensures design continuity and quality standards)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts)
• Termination Style: PC Pin (electrical connection compatibility)
• Grade: Automotive (compliance with automotive application requirements)
• Qualification: AEC-Q100 (automotive quality and reliability standards)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory compliance alignment)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (handling and storage compatibility)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (regulatory compliance alignment)

The substitute part KMI86 is manufactured by NXP USA Inc. and maintains through-hole mounting with PC pin termination, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility. Both parts comply with automotive-grade standards and equivalent regulatory requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The KMI23/4Z is obsolete and no longer in active production. The KMI86 is an active product from the same manufacturer, NXP USA Inc., and shares critical mechanical and regulatory compliance attributes including through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, ROHS3 compliance, and equivalent moisture sensitivity classification.

Selection of the KMI86 as a substitute is supported by:

• Continued availability as an active product
• Identical manufacturer ensuring consistent quality standards
• Equivalent mechanical interface (through-hole, PC pin)
• Matching regulatory compliance status (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)
• Same moisture sensitivity level for handling and storage compatibility

Detailed functional compatibility assessment requires verification of electrical characteristics and application-specific performance requirements not fully specified in the available technical data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the KMI23/4Z being discontinued? A: The KMI23/4Z is classified as obsolete. Substitute parts are necessary to maintain supply chain continuity for existing designs or new production requirements.

Q: Is the KMI86 a direct replacement for the KMI23/4Z? A: The KMI86 shares the same manufacturer, mounting type (through-hole), termination style (PC pin), and regulatory compliance attributes. However, complete functional compatibility requires verification of electrical performance characteristics specific to your application.

Q: Are the mechanical packages compatible? A: Both parts use through-hole mounting with PC pin termination, ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts designed for the KMI23/4Z.

Q: Do both parts meet automotive standards? A: The KMI23/4Z is AEC-Q100 qualified and automotive-grade. The KMI86 is an active automotive product from NXP USA Inc. Specific qualification details for the KMI86 should be confirmed with the manufacturer's technical documentation.

Q: Are there any regulatory compliance differences? A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited), ensuring equivalent regulatory compliance for automotive applications.

Q: What should I verify before implementing the KMI86 as a substitute? A: Verify electrical output characteristics, sensing range, operating temperature performance, and application-specific functional requirements against your system design specifications.
