MCS1802GS-10-P Hall Effect Current Sensor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MCS1802GS-10-P 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 ±10A sensing range with ratiometric voltage output and is housed in an 8-SOIC package. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when design requirements necessitate alternative sourcing due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or equivalent performance specifications across the same electrical and mechanical parameters.

• Equivalent supply voltage window (3V ~ 3.6V)
• Same frequency response (100kHz)
• Identical linearity tolerance (±0.5%)
• Matching accuracy specification (±2.5%)
• Equivalent response time (5µs)
• Identical maximum supply current (10.5mA)

Mechanical & Environmental Equivalence:

• Identical package type (8-SOIC, 0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Same mounting technology (Surface Mount)
• Matching operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C)
• Identical polarization (Bidirectional)
• Same measurement capability (AC/DC)

Compliance & Status Equivalence:

• Both parts maintain Active product status
• Both are RoHS3 compliant
• Both carry identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited)
• Both are REACH unaffected

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MCS1802GS-10-P and MCS1802GS-10-Z are functionally equivalent Hall-effect current sensors suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring ±10A bidirectional current measurement with 3.3V supply operation.

Selection Basis:

The MCS1802GS-10-Z presents an alternative sourcing option with identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Both parts carry Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and availability. Both maintain full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for industrial and consumer applications.

The primary distinction between these parts lies in packaging designation (tape & reel format), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Inventory availability may influence selection between these equivalent parts for production scheduling purposes.
