CX-491-P-C05 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CX-491-P-C05 is a retroreflective optical sensor manufactured by Panasonic Industrial Automation Sales, designed for 5-meter (16.40 feet) detection range applications with PNP open-collector output. This sensor operates across 12V to 24V supply voltage with 1ms response time and IP67 ingress protection, making it suitable for industrial automation environments. The CX-491-P-C05 is classified as obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued system availability, maintain supply chain continuity, and support legacy equipment maintenance where original components are no longer in production.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CX-491-P-C05 are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Sensing method (retroreflective)
• Sensing distance (5 meters / 16.40 feet)
• Supply voltage range (12V ~ 24V)
• Output configuration (PNP - Open Collector)
• Light source type (Red LED)
• Response time (1ms)
• Ingress protection rating (IP67)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C)
• Connection method (Cable)

The CX-491-P serves as a direct substitute, maintaining identical electrical and optical specifications while differing in packaging configuration and cable length. Both sensors belong to the CX-400 series and share the same base product number (CX-491).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CX-491-P is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete CX-491-P-C05. Both sensors maintain identical electrical specifications, optical performance characteristics, and environmental ratings. The CX-491-P carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support. The CX-491-P meets ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory standards. The primary difference between these parts is cable length: the CX-491-P-C05 provides 50cm cable length, while the CX-491-P provides 5m cable length. Cable length selection depends on installation geometry and wiring requirements. Both sensors are suitable for direct substitution in retroreflective sensing applications requiring 5-meter detection range with PNP output in industrial automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CX-491-P directly replace CX-491-P-C05 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both sensors share identical electrical specifications, optical performance, and environmental ratings. The primary consideration is cable length: CX-491-P-C05 includes 50cm cable, while CX-491-P includes 5m cable. Verify cable routing requirements for your installation.

Q: What is the difference in RoHS compliance between these parts?

A: CX-491-P-C05 is RoHS Compliant. CX-491-P is ROHS3 Compliant. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard and includes additional restricted substances. Both meet RoHS requirements; ROHS3 compliance indicates the CX-491-P meets more recent environmental standards.

Q: Are there any differences in sensing performance between CX-491-P and CX-491-P-C05?

A: No. Both sensors provide identical sensing distance (5 meters), response time (1ms), light source (Red LED), and output configuration (PNP - Open Collector). Optical and electrical performance are equivalent.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these sensors?

A: CX-491-P-C05 packaging is not specified. CX-491-P is supplied in Box packaging. Packaging differences do not affect sensor functionality or electrical characteristics.

Q: Is the longer cable length of CX-491-P a disadvantage?

A: No. The 5m cable length of CX-491-P provides greater installation flexibility compared to the 50cm cable of CX-491-P-C05. Excess cable can be coiled or routed as needed. Cable length does not affect sensor performance.
