Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the EE-SX301 are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The critical parameters determining substitutability are:

• Sensing distance: 0.134" (3.4mm)
• Sensing method: Through-Beam
• Output configuration: NPN - Open Collector/Dark-ON
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Supply voltage range: 4.5V ~ 16V
• Supply current: 3.2 mA
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 75°C
• Package type: PCB Mount

The EE-SX3088 meets all these electrical and mechanical specifications, making it a direct functional equivalent to the EE-SX301.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EE-SX3088 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete EE-SX301. Both components are manufactured by Omron Electronics Inc-EMC Div and share identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factors. The EE-SX3088 maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. Both parts carry RoHS Compliant certification and equivalent regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99; HTSUS: 8541.49.8000). The primary distinction is packaging format: the EE-SX301 uses standard PCB mount packaging, while the EE-SX3088 is supplied in tray packaging. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility in PCB mount applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EE-SX3088 directly replace the EE-SX301 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The EE-SX3088 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the EE-SX301. All critical parameters—sensing distance, output configuration, supply voltage, current consumption, and operating temperature range—are identical. Both components use through-hole PCB mount configuration.

Q: What is the difference between the EE-SX301 and EE-SX3088?

A: The primary difference is product status and packaging. The EE-SX301 is obsolete, while the EE-SX3088 is active. The EE-SX3088 is supplied in tray packaging, whereas the EE-SX301 uses standard PCB mount packaging. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both the EE-SX301 and EE-SX3088 are RoHS Compliant and share identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99; HTSUS: 8541.49.8000).

Q: Does the tray packaging of the EE-SX3088 affect PCB mount compatibility?

A: No. Tray packaging refers to the supply format for component handling and storage. Once removed from the tray, the EE-SX3088 component itself maintains identical through-hole PCB mount specifications as the EE-SX301.

Q: What supply voltage range do these sensors support?

A: Both the EE-SX301 and EE-SX3088 operate across a 4.5V to 16V supply voltage range with 3.2mA current consumption.
