Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LKSR 6-NP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Performance Criteria:

  • Current sensing capacity: 6A
  • Sensor technology: Hall Effect, Closed Loop
  • Output configuration: Ratiometric, Voltage
  • Sensitivity: 104.2 mV/A
  • Frequency response: 300 kHz
  • Linearity tolerance: ±0.1%
  • Accuracy specification: ±1.25%
  • Supply voltage range: 4.75V ~ 5.25V
  • Response time: 400 ns
  • Maximum supply current: 23 mA
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 105°C

Mechanical & Environmental Criteria:

  • Mounting configuration: Through Hole
  • Package classification: Module
  • Polarization type: Bidirectional
  • Number of channels: 1

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LXSR 6-NPS replace LKSR 6-NP in existing designs without modification?

A: Yes. All electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, mounting configuration, and environmental operating ranges are identical. Direct substitution is possible without circuit or PCB layout changes.

Q: What determines whether a part qualifies as a substitute for LKSR 6-NP?

A: A substitute part must match all parameters across three categories: electrical performance (current range, sensitivity, accuracy, frequency response, supply voltage, response time), mechanical configuration (through-hole mounting, module package, bidirectional polarization), and environmental compliance (RoHS status, operating temperature range, moisture sensitivity level).

Q: Are there differences in packaging between LKSR 6-NP and LXSR 6-NPS?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tray packaging. Mounting type (Through Hole), package classification (Module), and all physical specifications remain identical.

Q: What is the significance of the series designation change from LKSR to LXSR?

A: The series designation change reflects a product line evolution within LEM USA Inc.'s current sensor portfolio. When all electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical, the series change does not affect substitution eligibility or application compatibility.

Q: Do both parts require identical supply voltage conditions?

A: Yes. Both LKSR 6-NP and LXSR 6-NPS require supply voltage within the range 4.75V ~ 5.25V. No supply circuit modifications are necessary when substituting between these parts.

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for both sensors?

A: Both sensors operate across the temperature range -40°C ~ 105°C (TA). No thermal management changes are required when using either part number in the same application.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both LKSR 6-NP and LXSR 6-NPS carry RoHS Compliant status and are REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
