DP2-41 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The DP2-41 is a vented gauge pressure sensor manufactured by Panasonic Industrial Automation Sales, designed for industrial automation applications. It provides analog voltage output with NPN open collector capability, operating across a 12V to 24V supply range. The part is currently classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent active alternatives from the DP-100 series that maintain compatibility with existing system requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DP2-41 is determined by alignment across the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Pressure type classification (vented gauge)
• Operating pressure range (100 kPa nominal)
• Supply voltage compatibility (12V ~ 24V)
• Output signal type (NPN open collector capability)
• Operating temperature range (-10°C ~ 50°C)
• Port style (threaded connection)
• Termination method (connector-based)

The DP-100 series (DP-101-M, DP-101A-M, DP-102-M) shares these core functional parameters with the DP2-41. However, port size differs: DP-100 series uses Female M5 threading versus the DP2-41's Female 1/8" BSPT. This mechanical difference requires adapter consideration during integration.

The DP-102-M operates across an extended pressure range (-100 kPa ~ 1000 kPa) and is suitable only when the application environment permits operation beyond the DP2-41's nominal 100 kPa specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DP-101-M: This part is the primary substitute for DP2-41 applications. Both parts share identical operating pressure (100 kPa nominal), supply voltage range (12V ~ 24V), temperature operating window (-10°C ~ 50°C), and NPN open collector output capability. The DP-101-M is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance certification. Port size adaptation from 1/8" BSPT to M5 is required during mechanical integration.

DP-101A-M: This variant provides expanded output flexibility through dual analog current/voltage capability while maintaining all other electrical and thermal specifications identical to DP-101-M. Selection of this part is appropriate when the control system requires current-loop signal processing in addition to voltage output. Active production status and ROHS3 compliance are confirmed.

DP-102-M: This part operates across an extended pressure measurement range (-100 kPa ~ 1000 kPa) compared to the DP2-41's 100 kPa nominal specification. Selection is limited to applications where the system environment or future expansion requirements justify operation beyond the original DP2-41 pressure envelope. Active production status and ROHS3 compliance are confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DP-101-M directly replace DP2-41 without mechanical modification?

A: Electrical and functional compatibility is confirmed. However, port size differs: DP2-41 uses Female 1/8" BSPT threading while DP-101-M uses Female M5 threading. A threaded adapter or port modification is required for mechanical integration.

Q: What is the difference between DP-101-M and DP-101A-M?

A: Both parts operate at identical pressure ranges (±100 kPa) and supply voltages (12V ~ 24V). The DP-101A-M provides dual analog current/voltage output capability, whereas DP-101-M provides NPN open collector output only. Selection depends on whether the control system requires current-loop signal processing.

Q: Is DP-102-M suitable as a substitute for DP2-41?

A: DP-102-M shares all core electrical parameters (supply voltage, temperature range, output type, termination style) with DP2-41. However, DP-102-M operates across a significantly wider pressure range (-100 kPa ~ 1000 kPa). This part is appropriate only when the application environment permits or requires operation beyond the DP2-41's 100 kPa nominal specification.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. DP2-41 carries RoHS Compliant certification. All substitute parts (DP-101-M, DP-101A-M, DP-102-M) carry ROHS3 Compliant certification, which represents an updated compliance standard.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: All parts, including DP2-41 and all substitutes, carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions during storage or assembly.
