CX-424-C05 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CX-424-C05 is a reflective, diffuse optical sensor manufactured by Panasonic Industrial Automation Sales, designed for 100mm (3.937") sensing distance applications with NPN open collector output. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts to maintain system functionality and ensure continued supply chain availability. The sensor operates across 12V to 24V supply voltage with infrared (860nm) light source and IP67 ingress protection suitable for industrial automation environments.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The CX-424 serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete CX-424-C05. Substitution is valid based on identical alignment across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: sensing method (reflective, diffuse), sensing distance (100mm), supply voltage range (12V ~ 24V), output configuration (NPN open collector), light source specification (infrared 860nm), response time (1ms), ingress protection rating (IP67), cable length (2m), and operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C). Both components share the same connection method (cable) and maintain compatibility with industrial automation applications requiring these specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CX-424 is the direct replacement for the obsolete CX-424-C05. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all functional parameters. The CX-424 carries ROHS3 compliance status compared to the RoHS compliant designation of the CX-424-C05, representing enhanced environmental regulatory alignment. The active product status of CX-424 ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Selection of CX-424 for new designs or replacement applications eliminates obsolescence risk while preserving all system-level compatibility requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CX-424 directly replace CX-424-C05 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (12V ~ 24V supply, NPN open collector output, 1ms response time), mechanical parameters (100mm sensing distance, IP67 rating, 2m cable length), and environmental operating range (-25°C ~ 55°C). Direct substitution is valid without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging of CX-424-C05 and CX-424?

A: CX-424-C05 packaging is not specified in available documentation. CX-424 is supplied in box packaging. This distinction does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why is CX-424-C05 classified as obsolete?

A: CX-424-C05 has reached end-of-life status. CX-424 is the active equivalent part maintained by Panasonic Industrial Automation Sales for continued supply and support.

Q: Are there inventory differences between these parts?

A: CX-424-C05 inventory is listed at 876 pieces. CX-424 inventory is listed at 1150 pieces. Both are available as new original stock.

Q: Does the ROHS3 compliance of CX-424 affect compatibility with systems designed for RoHS compliant components?

A: No. ROHS3 compliance represents an enhanced regulatory standard that maintains backward compatibility with RoHS compliant system requirements.
