Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AMN12112 are identified based on matching the following critical parameters:

• Sensor Type: PIR (Passive Infrared)
• Detection Pattern: Slight Motion
• Output Type: Digital
• Voltage Supply Range: 3V ~ 6V
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C ~ 60°C
• Features: Slight Motion Lens, White
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The AMN32112 qualifies as a direct substitute, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status. The EKMC1672111 is classified as a similar substitute, sharing core sensor functionality and detection characteristics, though with incomplete specification documentation for certain parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AMN32112 is the primary substitute for the obsolete AMN12112. Both components share identical electrical specifications, sensing characteristics, and operating parameters. The AMN32112 maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected classification, making it suitable for new designs and direct replacement applications.

The EKMC1672111 serves as an alternative substitute when AMN32112 availability is constrained. This component shares the core PIR sensor architecture and slight motion detection pattern. However, the EKMC1672111 carries REACH affected status, requiring compliance verification for applications subject to REACH regulations. Incomplete specification data for sensing distance, voltage supply, and trigger type necessitates confirmation against application requirements before selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AMN32112 directly replace the AMN12112 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The AMN32112 maintains identical electrical specifications (3V ~ 6V supply), sensing distance (78.7" / 2m), output type (digital), and operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 60°C). Both components feature the same slight motion lens and white cylinder package configuration.

Q: What is the primary difference between AMN32112 and EKMC1672111?

A: The AMN32112 provides complete specification documentation with confirmed sensing distance and voltage parameters. The EKMC1672111 has incomplete specification data for these parameters. Additionally, EKMC1672111 carries REACH affected status, while AMN32112 is REACH unaffected.

Q: Does packaging type affect substitution compatibility?

A: Packaging type (Box for AMN32112, Tray for EKMC1672111) affects handling, storage, and supply chain logistics but does not impact electrical or functional compatibility. Component selection should account for packaging requirements within the assembly process.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both AMN32112 and EKMC1672111 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What compliance considerations apply to EKMC1672111 selection?

A: The EKMC1672111 is classified as REACH affected. Applications subject to REACH regulations must verify compliance requirements and material declarations before component selection.
