DP2-41N Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DP2-41N is a digital pressure sensor manufactured by Panasonic Industrial Automation Sales, designed for industrial automation applications. This NPN open collector sensor operates within a 12-24VDC supply range and measures vented gauge pressure up to 71.07PSI (490kPa). The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for system maintenance, repairs, and ongoing production support.

• Regulatory Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant and classified under ECCN EAR99, meeting equivalent compliance requirements

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DP-101-M is the designated substitute for the obsolete DP2-41N. Selection is based on:

• Product Status: The DP-101-M is active and currently manufactured, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Regulatory Compliance: The DP-101-M meets ROHS3 compliance, representing an advancement over the original RoHS Compliant status
• Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align with the DP2-41N, enabling direct replacement without system redesign
• Pressure Range Compatibility: The DP-101-M maximum pressure rating of ±72.52PSI (±500kPa) exceeds the DP2-41N specification of 71.07PSI (490kPa), providing equivalent operational headroom

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DP-101-M directly replace the DP2-41N in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both sensors share identical output type (NPN open collector), voltage supply range (12V ~ 24V), pressure measurement methodology (vented gauge), and operating temperature specifications (-10°C ~ 50°C). Electrical and control system integration remains unchanged.

Q: What is the difference between the port sizes?

A: The DP2-41N uses a Female 1/8" (3.18mm) NPT port, while the DP-101-M uses a Female M5 port. Port adaptation may be required depending on existing manifold or piping configurations. Verify mechanical compatibility with your installation before substitution.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two sensors?

A: The DP-101-M carries ROHS3 compliance, which supersedes the original RoHS Compliant status of the DP2-41N. Both sensors are classified under ECCN EAR99. The DP-101-M represents current regulatory alignment.

Q: What is the significance of the ± symbol in the DP-101-M pressure specifications?

A: The ± notation indicates bidirectional pressure measurement capability. The DP-101-M operating pressure of ±14.5PSI (±100kPa) and maximum pressure of ±72.52PSI (±500kPa) encompass the unidirectional specifications of the DP2-41N, ensuring full operational compatibility.

Q: Is the DP-101-M available in the same packaging format?

A: The DP2-41N uses Module Box with Display packaging, while the DP-101-M uses Module packaging. Verify that the DP-101-M packaging meets your installation and integration requirements.
