EA-06-062TZ-350/E Strain Gauge Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EA-06-062TZ-350/E is a Tee Rosette 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 strain gauge features a ±3% strain range with 350 Ohms resistance and is designed for multi-axis strain measurement applications requiring simultaneous data acquisition in three directions.

Due to its obsolete status, identifying functionally equivalent active production alternatives is necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance, and new system implementations. The substitute part identified maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering the advantage of active product status and improved supply chain availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EA-06-062TZ-350/E with the MMF404392 is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Identical strain range (±3%)
• Identical resistance value (350 Ohms)
• Identical resistance tolerance (±0.2%)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Identical pattern type (Tee Rosette)
• Identical active gauge length (0.062" / 1.57 mm)
• Identical active gauge width (0.075" / 1.91 mm)
• Identical overall pattern dimensions (0.133" × 0.168")
• Identical overall envelope dimensions (0.28" × 0.26")

Environmental Compatibility:

• Identical operating temperature range (-100 to 350°F / -75 to 175°C)
• Identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited)

The substitute part MMF404392 differs only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging configuration (Bulk), with no impact on functional performance or physical installation characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MMF404392 is the direct functional equivalent of the EA-06-062TZ-350/E strain gauge. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Consideration: The EA-06-062TZ-350/E is classified as obsolete, meaning Micro-Measurements has discontinued active production and support. The MMF404392 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and compliance with current manufacturing standards.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters (resistance, tolerance, strain range) and mechanical dimensions (active gauge dimensions, overall envelope, pattern geometry) are identical between the two parts. This equivalence ensures direct substitution without circuit redesign or mechanical rework.

Environmental and Compliance Alignment: Both parts share identical operating temperature ranges and moisture sensitivity ratings, confirming compatibility in equivalent thermal and humidity environments. Both parts carry the same ECCN classification (EAR99), supporting consistent export and regulatory compliance.

Supply Chain Advantage: The substitute part MMF404392 is available in higher inventory quantities (1168 Pcs vs. 642 Pcs), providing improved procurement reliability and lead time performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MMF404392 be used as a direct replacement for EA-06-062TZ-350/E in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MMF404392 is electrically and mechanically identical to the EA-06-062TZ-350/E. All critical parameters—resistance value, tolerance, strain range, active gauge dimensions, and overall envelope—are equivalent. No circuit modifications or mechanical rework is required.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The EA-06-062TZ-350/E is obsolete, while the MMF404392 is an active production part. The MMF404392 is supplied in bulk packaging. Functionally, both parts are identical.

Q: Are the temperature operating ranges the same?

A: Yes. Both the EA-06-062TZ-350/E and MMF404392 operate across the identical temperature range of -100 to 350°F (-75 to 175°C).

Q: Do both parts have the same resistance tolerance?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 350 Ohms resistance with ±0.2% tolerance, ensuring equivalent performance in bridge circuits and measurement systems.

Q: What does "Tee Rosette" pattern mean?

A: A Tee Rosette strain gauge contains three strain-sensitive elements arranged in a T-shaped configuration. This pattern allows simultaneous measurement of strain in three directions: 0°, 45°, and 90°, enabling multi-axis stress analysis.

Q: Is the MSL rating the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Can I use MMF404392 in new designs?

A: Yes. The MMF404392 is an active production part with full technical support from Micro-Measurements. It is suitable for both new designs and replacement applications.
