CX-412A-P-C05 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CX-412A-P-C05 is a through-beam optical sensor manufactured by Panasonic Industrial Automation Sales, designed for 15-meter sensing distance applications with PNP open collector output configuration. This sensor operates across 12V to 24V supply voltage with 1ms response time and IP67 ingress protection, suitable for industrial automation environments. The product is currently classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain system continuity and procurement availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Sensing method (through-beam), sensing distance (15m), supply voltage range (12V ~ 24V), response time (1ms), output configuration (PNP - open collector), light source (infrared), connection method (cable), ingress protection rating (IP67), and operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C) must remain identical or functionally equivalent.

The CX-412-P qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: CX-412-P is active and currently available, whereas CX-412A-P-C05 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CX-412-P is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete CX-412A-P-C05. Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical parameters, and environmental ratings. The CX-412-P maintains active product status with current manufacturing and availability, ensuring supply chain continuity. The upgrade from RoHS Compliant to ROHS3 Compliant status on the substitute part represents enhanced regulatory alignment with current environmental standards. Packaging is provided as Box for the CX-412-P, compared to unspecified packaging for the main part. No functional or performance degradation occurs with this substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both sensors share identical sensing distance (15m), supply voltage (12V ~ 24V), response time (1ms), output configuration (PNP - open collector), ingress protection (IP67), and operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C). Direct electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference between the output configurations listed for each part?

A: CX-412A-P-C05 specifies "PNP - Open Collector/Light-ON" while CX-412-P specifies "PNP - Open Collector." Both represent the same functional output type. The additional notation in the main part is descriptive detail; the core output behavior is equivalent.

Q: Why is CX-412A-P-C05 classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates the part is no longer in active production. The CX-412-P serves as the current active equivalent within the CX-400 series.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: CX-412A-P-C05 packaging is unspecified in available data. CX-412-P is supplied in Box packaging. Both maintain identical cable length specifications where applicable and identical environmental protection ratings.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: CX-412A-P-C05 is RoHS Compliant. CX-412-P is ROHS3 Compliant, representing current regulatory alignment. Both meet EAR99 export classification and HTSUS 8541.49.8000 tariff classification.
