Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CX-412A-C05 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Sensing Method: Through-Beam (fixed requirement)
• Sensing Distance: 15m (fixed requirement)
• Voltage Supply Range: 12V ~ 24V (fixed requirement)
• Output Configuration: NPN - Open Collector (fixed requirement)
• Light Source: Infrared (fixed requirement)
• Ingress Protection: IP67 (fixed requirement)
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C ~ 55°C (fixed requirement)

The CX-412 qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both sensors belong to the Panasonic CX-400 series and maintain identical functional specifications for sensing distance, voltage supply, response time, output type, and environmental ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CX-412 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete CX-412A-C05. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including sensing distance, voltage supply range, output configuration, and environmental ratings.

The CX-412 carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance certification, providing a current-generation alternative with equivalent functional performance. The transition from RoHS Compliant to ROHS3 Compliant status reflects updated regulatory alignment while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Current inventory availability of the CX-412 (1027 Pcs New Original In Stock) supports direct replacement in maintenance and repair applications where the CX-412A-C05 is no longer procurable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CX-412 directly replace the CX-412A-C05 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The CX-412 maintains identical electrical specifications (12V ~ 24V supply, 1ms response time, NPN open collector output) and mechanical specifications (15m sensing distance, IP67 rating, -25°C ~ 55°C operating temperature) as the CX-412A-C05. Both sensors use infrared light source and through-beam sensing method, ensuring functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant status?

A: ROHS3 Compliant represents the current regulatory standard for restriction of hazardous substances. Both certifications indicate compliance with hazardous substance restrictions; ROHS3 reflects the updated regulatory framework. This does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between CX-412A-C05 and CX-412?

A: The CX-412A-C05 packaging information is not specified in available documentation. The CX-412 is supplied in Box packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your specific application requirements.

Q: What is the cable length specification for the CX-412?

A: Cable length specification for the CX-412 is not provided in available documentation. The CX-412A-C05 specifies 19.5" (50cm) cable length. Confirm cable length requirements for your installation before component selection.

Q: Are both sensors from the same manufacturer series?

A: Yes. Both the CX-412A-C05 and CX-412 belong to the Panasonic CX-400 series and are manufactured by Panasonic Industrial Automation Sales, ensuring design consistency and compatibility within the product line.
