Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CX-421-P-C05 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Sensing method (Reflective, Diffuse)
• Sensing distance (11.811" / 300mm)
• Voltage supply range (12V ~ 24V)
• Output configuration (PNP - Open Collector)
• Light source wavelength (Infrared 860nm)
• Response time (1ms)
• Ingress protection rating (IP67)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C)
• Connection method (Cable)
• Cable length (78.74" / 2m)

The CX-421-P qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CX-421-P is the direct substitute for the CX-421-P-C05. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The CX-421-P is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The CX-421-P carries ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in industrial applications. The packaging difference (Box for CX-421-P versus unspecified for CX-421-P-C05) does not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CX-421-P directly replace the CX-421-P-C05 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The CX-421-P is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the CX-421-P-C05 across all specified parameters, including sensing distance, voltage supply, output configuration, response time, and environmental ratings.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The CX-421-P-C05 is obsolete, meaning it is no longer manufactured or actively supported. The CX-421-P is active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing, availability, and technical support from Panasonic Industrial Automation Sales.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: No. The packaging difference (Box for CX-421-P) is a logistics and storage consideration only. It does not affect the electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional operation of the sensor in the application.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The CX-421-P carries ROHS3 certification, representing the current regulatory standard for hazardous substance restrictions in electronic components.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution?

A: Sensing method, sensing distance, voltage supply range, output configuration, light source wavelength, response time, ingress protection rating, operating temperature range, connection method, and cable length must all remain identical for direct substitution.
