CX-491-P-C05-Y Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CX-491-P-C05-Y is a retroreflective optical sensor manufactured by Panasonic Industrial Automation Sales, designed for 16.40' (5m) sensing distance 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 product is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute components to maintain system functionality and ensure continued availability for replacement and new installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CX-491-P-C05-Y is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Sensing Method: Retroreflective
• Sensing Distance: 16.40' (5m)
• Voltage Supply Range: 12V ~ 24V
• Output Configuration: PNP - Open Collector
• Light Source: Red LED
• Response Time: 1ms
• Ingress Protection: IP67
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C ~ 55°C
• Connection Method: Cable

The substitute part CX-491-P maintains all functional and electrical parameters identical to the main part. The primary distinction is product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and cable length specification, with CX-491-P providing extended cable length (196.85" / 5m) compared to the original CX-491-P-C05-Y (19.5" / 50cm).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CX-491-P serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete CX-491-P-C05-Y. Both components are manufactured by Panasonic Industrial Automation Sales within the CX-400 series and maintain identical functional specifications for retroreflective optical sensing at 5m distance with PNP open collector output.

The CX-491-P is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (800 Pcs New Original In Stock), ensuring supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance, with CX-491-P meeting the more recent ROHS3 standard. The primary physical difference is cable length: CX-491-P provides 196.85" (5m) cable versus the original 19.5" (50cm), which may require evaluation based on installation geometry and cable routing requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical and functional specifications including sensing distance, voltage supply range, output configuration, response time, and operating temperature range. The primary consideration is cable length difference.

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

A: CX-491-P-C05-Y includes 19.5" (50cm) cable, while CX-491-P includes 196.85" (5m) cable. Installation requirements must accommodate the extended cable length of the substitute part, or cable management solutions must be implemented.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. CX-491-P meets the more recent ROHS3 standard, representing an updated compliance certification. Both maintain identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.49.8000) classifications.

Q: Why is CX-491-P-C05-Y listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer discontinuation. CX-491-P represents the active production equivalent within the same series and maintains all functional specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: CX-491-P-C05-Y packaging is unspecified in available documentation. CX-491-P is supplied in Box packaging.
