Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is based strictly on matching the following electrical and mechanical parameters: sensing method (through-beam), sensing distance (15m), voltage supply range (12V ~ 24V), response time (1ms), output configuration (NPN open collector), light source (infrared), connection method (cable), ingress protection (IP67), operating temperature (-25°C ~ 55°C), and product compliance. Only models conforming precisely to these parameters are evaluated for equivalency in the optical sensors category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection is strictly governed by product status, inventory availability, and compliance attributes. The CX-412B-C05 is obsolete, while CX-412 is active and available in inventory, providing equivalent compliance (RoHS, MSL 1) and certifications (ECCN, HTSUS). Both components meet the outlined technical requirements and compliance standards based on provided data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the criteria for substituting CX-412B-C05 with CX-412?
Substitution criteria are based on matching sensing method, sensing distance, voltage range, response time, output configuration, light source, connection method, ingress protection, operating temperature, and product compliance.

Q2: Is CX-412 physically compatible as a direct replacement for CX-412B-C05?
Both models utilize cable connection and have the same series, optical sensor category, and environmental ratings, supporting mechanical compatibility based strictly on provided parameters.

Q3: Are there any compliance differences impacting substitution?
CX-412B-C05 is RoHS compliant; CX-412 is ROHS3 compliant. Both have equivalent certifications for product selection purposes (MSL 1, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8541.49.8000).

Q4: How does the product status affect component selection?
CX-412B-C05 is obsolete. CX-412 is active and stocked, qualifying it as a substitute for continuity in design or maintenance applications within the optical sensors category.

Q5: Should package type and cable length be considered in selection?
Packaging information provided is "Box" for both models, and both specify cable connection; additional cable length data is not given for CX-412. Only parameters explicitly detailed in the input should be used.
