Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the L08P050D15 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Current sensing capacity: 50A
• Sensor technology: Hall Effect, Open Loop
• Channel configuration: Single channel
• Output format: Ratiometric voltage
• Polarization: Bidirectional
• Measurement type: AC/DC

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Linearity specification: ±1%
• Supply voltage compatibility: ±12V to ±15V range
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole
• Package classification: Module with Single Pass Through capability
• Environmental compliance: RoHS Compliant

The L08P050D15IPV (Tamura) qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute, maintaining identical core specifications while offering improved performance characteristics. The HTB 50-P (LEM USA Inc.) functions as a similar alternative, meeting all primary substitution criteria with enhanced response time and extended temperature range.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

L08P050D15IPV (Tamura) - Manufacturer-Recommended Substitute:

The L08P050D15IPV is the direct manufacturer upgrade path from the obsolete L08P050D15. This part maintains identical electrical specifications while offering enhanced performance through reduced response time (5µs versus 10µs) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 80°C). The L08P050D15IPV carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts are RoHS Compliant and share identical core functionality, making this the preferred substitution for direct replacement applications.

HTB 50-P (LEM USA Inc.) - Alternative Equivalent:

The HTB 50-P provides functional equivalence across all primary substitution criteria. This part delivers superior response time performance (3µs) and maintains the same ±1% linearity specification. The HTB 50-P operates within the same supply voltage range (±12V to ±15V) and supports identical bidirectional current measurement. The frequency response specification (DC to 50kHz) is narrower than the original L08P050D15 (DC to 100kHz), requiring verification for applications exceeding 50kHz operation. The HTB 50-P is RoHS Compliant and carries Active product status.

Selection Basis:

• Both substitute parts maintain obsolescence mitigation through Active product status
• Electrical parameter equivalence ensures circuit-level compatibility
• RoHS compliance status supports regulatory requirements
• Through Hole mounting and Module packaging preserve mechanical compatibility
• Supply voltage ranges accommodate existing power supply configurations

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the L08P050D15IPV directly replace the L08P050D15 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The L08P050D15IPV maintains identical electrical specifications for current sensing (50A), sensor type (Hall Effect, Open Loop), output format (Ratiometric Voltage), and polarization (Bidirectional). Both parts operate with ±15V supply voltage and ±1% linearity. The L08P050D15IPV offers improved response time (5µs versus 10µs) and extended temperature range (-40°C to 80°C versus -10°C to 80°C), making it a direct functional replacement.

Q: What are the key differences between L08P050D15IPV and HTB 50-P?

A: Both parts share identical 50A current sensing, Hall Effect open-loop operation, single-channel configuration, and ratiometric voltage output. Primary differences include: response time (L08P050D15IPV: 5µs; HTB 50-P: 3µs), frequency range (L08P050D15IPV: not specified; HTB 50-P: DC to 50kHz), and manufacturer (Tamura versus LEM USA Inc.). The HTB 50-P provides faster response but narrower frequency specification.

Q: Is the HTB 50-P suitable for applications requiring DC to 100kHz operation?

A: The HTB 50-P frequency specification is DC to 50kHz. Applications requiring operation above 50kHz should use the L08P050D15IPV, which does not specify an upper frequency limit, or verify HTB 50-P performance through direct testing for frequencies between 50kHz and 100kHz.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS Compliant?

A: The L08P050D15 and HTB 50-P are explicitly RoHS Compliant. RoHS status for the L08P050D15IPV is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What is the temperature operating range difference between these parts?

A: The L08P050D15 operates from -10°C to 80°C. Both the L08P050D15IPV and HTB 50-P extend the lower temperature limit to -40°C, providing -40°C to 80°C operation. Applications requiring operation below -10°C require the L08P050D15IPV or HTB 50-P.

Q: Do all parts support bidirectional current measurement?

A: Yes. All three parts (L08P050D15, L08P050D15IPV, and HTB 50-P) feature bidirectional polarization, enabling measurement of current flow in both directions.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these sensors?

A: The L08P050D15 is specified as a Module. The L08P050D15IPV and HTB 50-P are specified as Module with Single Pass Through configuration, indicating enhanced mechanical design for through-hole mounting applications.
