Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the EE-SH3-DS are determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Sensing Distance: 0.134" (3.4mm)
• Sensing Method: Through-Beam
• Output Configuration: Phototransistor
• Current - DC Forward (If) (Max): 50 mA
• Current - Collector (Ic) (Max): 20 mA
• Voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown (Max): 30 V
• Response Time: 4µs, 4µs
• Operating Temperature: -25°C ~ 85°C
• Mounting Type: Solder
• Package / Case: PCB Mount
• Type: Unamplified

The substitute parts EE-SV3-DS and EE-SV3-CS meet all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, making them functionally equivalent to the EE-SH3-DS for through-beam optical sensing applications requiring phototransistor output.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both EE-SV3-DS and EE-SV3-CS are active product alternatives to the obsolete EE-SH3-DS. The EE-SV3-DS and EE-SV3-CS maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct functional compatibility.

The EE-SV3-DS carries ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The EE-SV3-CS carries ROHS3 compliance with standard bulk packaging. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99.

Selection between EE-SV3-DS and EE-SV3-CS should be based on packaging requirements and moisture sensitivity considerations for your specific application environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both substitute parts meet all electrical and mechanical parameters specified for the EE-SH3-DS, including sensing distance, output configuration, current ratings, voltage ratings, response time, operating temperature range, and mounting type.

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

A: The primary difference is packaging format. EE-SV3-DS is supplied in bulk packaging with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. EE-SV3-CS is supplied in bulk packaging with standard moisture sensitivity classification. Both maintain identical electrical specifications.

Q: Why is the EE-SH3-DS listed as obsolete?

A: The EE-SH3-DS has reached end-of-life status. The EE-SV3 series represents the current active product line from Omron Electronics Inc-EMC Div for equivalent through-beam phototransistor optical sensors in this specification class.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the original part and substitutes?

A: The EE-SH3-DS carries RoHS Compliant status. Both EE-SV3-DS and EE-SV3-CS carry ROHS3 Compliant status, representing updated compliance certification. Both substitute parts are REACH Unaffected.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution?

A: Sensing distance (0.134" / 3.4mm), sensing method (through-beam), output configuration (phototransistor), current ratings (If 50 mA max, Ic 20 mA max), voltage rating (30 V max), response time (4µs), operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C), and mounting type (solder PCB mount) must all remain constant for functional equivalence.
