Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CX-423-C05 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Sensing method (Reflective, Diffuse)
• Sensing distance range (2.756" ~ 11.811" / 70mm ~ 300mm)
• Supply voltage compatibility (12V ~ 24V)
• Output configuration (NPN - Open Collector)
• Light source wavelength (Infrared 860nm)
• Response time (1ms)
• Ingress protection rating (IP67)
• Cable length (78.74" / 2m)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C)

The CX-423 represents the direct manufacturer equivalent, sharing identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the obsolete CX-423-C05 model. The primary distinction is product status: CX-423-C05 is obsolete, while CX-423 is active and available in standard box packaging.

Parameter Comparison
