Equivalent & Substitute Parts for EE-SH3-CS

Part Overview

The EE-SH3-CS is an optical sensor manufactured by Omron Electronics Inc-EMC Div, classified as a through-beam phototransistor optical sensor with PCB mount configuration. This component features a 0.134" (3.4mm) sensing distance and unamplified output, designed for slot-type optical sensing applications. The EE-SH3-CS is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing production support and design continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the EE-SH3-CS are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

• Sensing distance: 0.134" (3.4mm)
• Sensing method: Through-Beam
• Output configuration: Phototransistor
• Current ratings: If (Max) 50 mA, Ic (Max) 20 mA
• Voltage rating: Collector Emitter Breakdown (Max) 30 V
• Response time: 4µs, 4µs
• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 85°C
• Mounting type: Solder
• Package type: PCB Mount
• Output type: Unamplified

The substitute parts EE-SV3-CS and EE-SV3-DS meet all these parametric requirements and are therefore direct functional equivalents to the obsolete EE-SH3-CS.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both EE-SV3-CS and EE-SV3-DS are active product alternatives to the obsolete EE-SH3-CS. Selection between these two substitute parts should be based on the following factors:

EE-SV3-CS is suitable for applications where standard moisture sensitivity handling is acceptable. This part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements.

EE-SV3-DS is appropriate for applications requiring enhanced moisture protection, as indicated by Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). This part also carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status.

Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility with the original EE-SH3-CS specification. The choice between EE-SV3-CS and EE-SV3-DS depends on environmental exposure and moisture handling requirements specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EE-SV3-CS and EE-SV3-DS be used interchangeably with EE-SH3-CS?

A: Yes. Both EE-SV3-CS and EE-SV3-DS are parametric equivalents to EE-SH3-CS. All critical electrical parameters, sensing characteristics, and mechanical mounting specifications are identical across all three part numbers.

Q: What is the difference between EE-SV3-CS and EE-SV3-DS?

A: The primary difference is moisture sensitivity level. EE-SV3-DS specifies Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), while EE-SV3-CS does not specify this parameter. Both parts are otherwise electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Q: Why is EE-SH3-CS listed as obsolete?

A: The EE-SH3-CS has been discontinued by the manufacturer. EE-SV3-CS and EE-SV3-DS are the active product alternatives that maintain full parametric compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the substitute parts and the original?

A: The substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance, while the original EE-SH3-CS carries RoHS Compliant status. Both EE-SV3-CS and EE-SV3-DS are REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards.

Q: Will PCB layout changes be required when substituting these parts?

A: No. All three parts share identical PCB mount package specifications and solder mounting requirements, allowing direct substitution without layout modifications.
