Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CX-482-C05 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Sensing method: Retroreflective
• Sensing distance: 78.7" (200cm)
• Voltage supply range: 12V ~ 24V
• Output configuration: NPN - Open Collector
• Light source: Infrared
• Ingress protection: IP67
• Response time: 1ms
• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 55°C

The CX-482 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all core electrical and sensing specifications. Differences in cable length and packaging do not affect functional compatibility in applications designed for the CX-482-C05.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CX-482 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete CX-482-C05. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, sensing characteristics, and environmental ratings. The CX-482 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

The CX-482 provides enhanced RoHS compliance certification (ROHS3) compared to the CX-482-C05 (RoHS Compliant), meeting current regulatory requirements. The extended cable length of the CX-482 (2m versus 50cm) provides greater installation flexibility without compromising sensor performance.

Selection of the CX-482 eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional compatibility with existing system designs specified for the CX-482-C05.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CX-482 directly replace the CX-482-C05 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The CX-482 maintains identical sensing distance (200cm), voltage supply range (12V-24V), output configuration (NPN open collector), response time (1ms), and environmental ratings (IP67, -25°C to 55°C). Direct substitution is functionally compatible.

Q: What is the difference in cable length between these parts?

A: The CX-482-C05 includes a 50cm cable, while the CX-482 includes a 2m cable. The extended cable length of the CX-482 provides greater installation flexibility. Cable length does not affect sensor electrical performance or sensing capability.

Q: Why is the CX-482-C05 listed as obsolete?

A: The CX-482-C05 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The CX-482 represents the current active equivalent, ensuring continued product support and procurement availability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the CX-482-C05 and CX-482?

A: The CX-482 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, representing current regulatory standards. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS environmental compliance. The CX-482 meets contemporary regulatory requirements for new installations and system updates.

Q: What packaging is provided with the CX-482?

A: The CX-482 is supplied in box packaging. The CX-482-C05 packaging specification was not defined. Packaging does not affect sensor functionality or electrical performance.
