Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the E3X-DA6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Amplifier Type: Standard classification required
• Output Type: NPN configuration mandatory
• Voltage Supply Range: Minimum 12V to 24V compatibility
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C to 55°C (TA) minimum
• Manufacturer: Omron Automation and Safety
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The two identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and environmental specifications while offering active product status and enhanced feature sets.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

E3X-HD6 is the primary substitute for direct replacement applications. This part maintains identical voltage supply specifications (12V ~ 24V), matching operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C TA), and NPN output configuration. The E3X-HD6 offers increased current supply capacity (60 mA versus 40 mA) and is classified as active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected designation, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

E3NX-FA6 serves as an alternative substitute with extended voltage supply range (10V ~ 30V), providing greater flexibility in variable supply environments. This part is also active status with identical MSL and ECCN classifications. The E3NX-FA6 operates within the same temperature range and maintains standard amplifier classification. Output type specifications are not provided for this part; verification against specific circuit requirements is necessary prior to implementation.

Both substitutes are manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety and carry EAR99 ECCN classification matching the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E3X-HD6 be used as a direct replacement for the E3X-DA6?

A: Yes. The E3X-HD6 maintains the same voltage supply range (12V ~ 24V), operating temperature specifications (-25°C ~ 55°C TA), NPN output type, and standard amplifier classification. The increased current supply (60 mA) is compatible with applications designed for the original 40 mA specification.

Q: What is the primary difference between E3X-HD6 and E3NX-FA6?

A: The E3X-HD6 maintains the original 12V ~ 24V voltage specification, while the E3NX-FA6 provides an extended range of 10V ~ 30V. The E3NX-FA6 output type is not specified in available documentation. Selection depends on specific voltage supply requirements and output configuration compatibility with your application.

Q: Why is the E3X-DA6 listed as obsolete?

A: The E3X-DA6 has been discontinued by Omron Automation and Safety. Active substitute models (E3X-HD6 and E3NX-FA6) are recommended for new designs and replacement applications to ensure ongoing component availability and support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The E3X-DA6 packaging is listed as standard DIN Rail mounting. The E3NX-FA6 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the E3X-HD6 is supplied in Box packaging. Verify packaging compatibility with your procurement and installation requirements.

Q: Do all three parts share the same compliance certifications?

A: All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) and ECCN EAR99 classifications. The E3X-HD6 additionally carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected designation, providing enhanced regulatory documentation for applications requiring these certifications.
