Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CX-422-C05 is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters: sensing method (reflective, diffuse), sensing distance (31.496" / 800mm), supply voltage range (12V ~ 24V), output configuration (NPN - open collector), light source specification (infrared 860nm), ingress protection rating (IP67), and operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C). The CX-422 qualifies as a direct substitute, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CX-422 is the direct equivalent for CX-422-C05 applications. Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and functional characteristics. The CX-422 offers the advantage of active product status with confirmed inventory availability (1055 Pcs), whereas the CX-422-C05 is obsolete. The CX-422 maintains RoHS3 compliance, exceeding the RoHS compliance level of the original part. For new designs or component replacement in existing systems, the CX-422 provides continuity of function with enhanced supply chain reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CX-422 directly replace CX-422-C05 in existing applications? A: Yes. The CX-422 maintains identical sensing distance (800mm), supply voltage range (12V ~ 24V), output configuration (NPN - open collector), response time (1ms), and environmental specifications (IP67, -25°C ~ 55°C operating temperature). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between CX-422-C05 and CX-422? A: CX-422-C05 packaging is unspecified in available documentation. CX-422 is supplied in Box packaging. Both components utilize identical cable connection methodology (78.74" / 2m cable length).

Q: Why is CX-422-C05 classified as obsolete? A: CX-422-C05 has reached end-of-life status. The CX-422 represents the active continuation of this product line with equivalent functionality.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts? A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. CX-422 achieves ROHS3 compliance, representing a higher compliance standard than the RoHS compliance designation of CX-422-C05. Both carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.49.8000) classifications.

Q: What is the infrared wavelength specification? A: Both CX-422-C05 and CX-422 utilize infrared light source at 860nm wavelength for reflective, diffuse sensing operation.
