MCS1800GS-25-Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MCS1800GS-25-Z is a 3.3V linear Hall-effect current sensor manufactured by Monolithic Power Systems Inc., designed for bidirectional AC/DC current measurement applications. This surface-mount device operates in the ±25A sensing range with ratiometric voltage output and is packaged in an 8-SOIC form factor. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance are maintained across the specified parameter set. Alternative sourcing becomes necessary due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or procurement requirements while maintaining identical functional specifications.
