Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete MMF017059 strain gauge is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Resistance value: 350 Ohms
• Resistance tolerance: ±0.3%
• Strain measurement range: ±5%

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Pattern type: Linear
• Active gauge dimensions: 0.125" length × 0.100" width
• Overall package dimensions and mounting footprint

Environmental and Compliance Requirements:

• Operating temperature range: -100 ~ 350°F (-75 ~ 175°C)
• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Manufacturer Continuity:

• Same manufacturer: Micro-Measurements (Division of Vishay Precision Group)
• Same product series: CEA

The substitute part MMF404527 maintains functional equivalence through matching electrical specifications and environmental operating parameters within the CEA series product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MMF404527 serves as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete MMF017059 strain gauge. Both components are manufactured by Micro-Measurements and belong to the CEA series product line. The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support.

Selection of MMF404527 is supported by:

• Identical series classification (CEA) within the Micro-Measurements product portfolio
• Equivalent RoHS compliance certification
• Matching moisture sensitivity level classification
• Manufacturer designation as the recommended replacement

The transition from MMF017059 to MMF404527 does not introduce compliance or certification gaps. Both components satisfy the same regulatory requirements (RoHS, MSL Level 1).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MMF404527 directly replace MMF017059 in existing applications?

A: MMF404527 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for MMF017059. Both components are part of the Micro-Measurements CEA series and share equivalent electrical and environmental specifications. Verification of mechanical fit and mounting compatibility with your specific application is required.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging of these two parts?

A: MMF017059 is supplied in standard packaging, while MMF404527 is supplied in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging typically contains multiple units per package (indicated by "1=5PC" in the MMF404527 description). Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both MMF017059 and MMF404527 are RoHS compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: Why is MMF017059 listed as obsolete?

A: MMF017059 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. MMF404527 represents the active product line continuation within the CEA series. For new designs or ongoing production, MMF404527 should be specified.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between these parts?

A: Both components are linear strain gauges within the CEA series. Detailed electrical specifications (resistance, tolerance, strain range, temperature range) must be verified against the complete technical datasheets for your specific application requirements.
