Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the E3X-DA11 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Voltage Supply Range: Substitute must operate within or encompass the 12V ~ 24V supply requirement
• Output Type: NPN output configuration is required for circuit compatibility
• Operating Temperature Range: Must maintain -25°C ~ 55°C operational capability
• Amplifier Classification: Standard amplifier types are acceptable substitutes for optical amplifier applications
• Manufacturer Consistency: All substitutes are from Omron Automation and Safety, ensuring design continuity and support compatibility

The E3X-DA11 has two qualified substitutes: the E3NX-FA11 2M and the E3X-HD11 2M. Both parts meet the electrical and thermal requirements while offering active product status and current manufacturing support.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

E3X-HD11 2M is the primary substitute for the E3X-DA11. This part maintains identical voltage supply range (12V ~ 24V), matching NPN output configuration with open collector topology, and equivalent operating temperature specifications. The E3X-HD11 2M is active in production with ROHS3 compliance and REACH documentation, providing long-term availability and regulatory support.

E3NX-FA11 2M serves as a secondary substitute option. While this part offers an extended voltage supply range (10V ~ 30V) that encompasses the E3X-DA11 requirements, output type specifications are not provided in the available data. The E3NX-FA11 2M is active in production with ROHS3 compliance and REACH documentation. Selection of this part requires confirmation of output type compatibility with existing circuit designs.

Both substitutes are manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety, ensuring design continuity, technical support alignment, and supply chain consistency with the original component ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the E3X-DA11 being discontinued? A: The E3X-DA11 is classified as obsolete. Omron has transitioned this product line to active alternatives that provide equivalent or enhanced functionality with current manufacturing support.

Q: Can the E3X-HD11 2M be used as a direct replacement for the E3X-DA11? A: Yes. The E3X-HD11 2M meets all critical electrical parameters: 12V ~ 24V supply voltage, NPN output type, and -25°C ~ 55°C operating temperature range. Both parts share identical voltage specifications and thermal operating windows.

Q: What is the difference between the E3NX-FA11 2M and E3X-HD11 2M? A: The E3NX-FA11 2M provides a wider voltage supply range (10V ~ 30V) compared to the E3X-HD11 2M (12V ~ 24V). However, the E3X-HD11 2M maintains exact voltage matching with the E3X-DA11 and specifies NPN open collector output. Output type information for the E3NX-FA11 2M is not provided in available documentation.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes? A: Yes. The E3NX-FA11 2M is supplied in bulk packaging, while the E3X-HD11 2M is supplied in box packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and inventory management processes.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same current supply specifications? A: The E3X-HD11 2M specifies 60 mA supply current, which is lower than the E3X-DA11 specification of 75 mA. The E3NX-FA11 2M does not provide current supply data. Confirm that your circuit design can operate within the E3X-HD11 2M current specification.

Q: Are both substitutes compliant with environmental regulations? A: Both the E3NX-FA11 2M and E3X-HD11 2M are ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected. The E3X-DA11 compliance status is not specified in available documentation. Verify regulatory requirements for your application region and procurement standards.
