Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part grouping for the Panasonic CX-424-P-C05 is established through strict equivalency of key technical parameters: category (Optical Sensors), series (CX-400), sensing method (Reflective, Diffuse), sensing distance (3.937" / 100mm), supply voltage range (12V ~ 24V), response time (1ms), output configuration (PNP - Open Collector), light source (Infrared 860nm), cable connection method, IP67 ingress protection, cable length (2m), and specified operating temperature. Only substitute parts meeting all these explicit criteria are eligible for direct replacement within the same functional and mechanical envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Panasonic CX-424-P-C05 is currently obsolete. The substitute manufacturer part number, CX-424-P, maintains an active status and matches all provided parameters for category, electrical and mechanical specifications, environmental compliance (ROHS3 Compliant), and identical series architecture. Both parts share the same Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) and regulatory classifications (ECCN, HTSUS).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Which parameters determine the eligibility of the CX-424-P as a substitute for the CX-424-P-C05?
A1: Substitute eligibility is strictly determined by identical values in the following parameters: sensing method, sensing distance, supply voltage, response time, output configuration, light source, connection method, cable length, ingress protection, operating temperature range, and compliance indicators.

Q2: Are there notable differences in packaging or cable configuration between the main and substitute part?
A2: Both CX-424-P-C05 and CX-424-P are supplied with cable connection (2m) and belong to the same series, with both listed under "Box" packaging where specified.

Q3: Is there any impact on compliance or certification between the main and substitute parts?
A3: The main part is RoHS Compliant; the substitute part is ROHS3 Compliant. Both parts share identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (1, Unlimited) and regulatory classifications (ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.49.8000).

Q4: Are installation, mounting, or handling procedures affected when substituting CX-424-P for CX-424-P-C05?
A4: All mechanical and electrical parameters per provided details are equivalent, supporting direct substitution within the defined limits.

Q5: Does the active status of the substitute part influence selection in legacy applications?
A5: The substitute part’s active status ensures continued availability within the same specification limits as the obsolete main part, as verified by the parameter comparison.
