EA-06-062TV-350 Strain Gauge Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EA-06-062TV-350 is a shear/torque strain gauge manufactured by Micro-Measurements (Division of Vishay Precision Group). This component is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The gauge features a ±3% strain range with 350 ohms resistance and is designed for shear and torque measurement applications with active dimensions of 0.062" (1.57mm) length by 0.055" (1.40mm) width.

Due to its obsolete status, locating equivalent or substitute parts is necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this specification remains applicable.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EA-06-062TV-350 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Pattern Type: Shear/Torque configuration
• Strain Range: ±3%
• Resistance: 350 Ohms
• Resistance Tolerance: ±0.2%
• Active Length: 0.062" (1.57mm)
• Active Width: 0.055" (1.40mm)
• Operating Temperature Range: -100 ~ 350°F (-75 ~ 175°C)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part MMF403946 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part. The primary distinction is product status: MMF403946 is active in production, whereas EA-06-062TV-350 is obsolete. Both parts are manufactured by the same company within the same EA series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MMF403946 is a direct functional equivalent to the EA-06-062TV-350. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

For New Designs and Ongoing Production: MMF403946 is the appropriate choice. This part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability, manufacturing support, and compliance with current quality standards from Micro-Measurements.
