Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EE-SX4162-P1-Z is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Sensing Distance: 0.197" (5mm)
• Sensing Method: Through-Beam
• Output Configuration: NPN - Open Collector/Light-ON
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Current - Supply: 25 mA
• Voltage - Supply: 12V
• Operating Temperature: -20°C ~ 85°C
• Package / Case: Module, Slotted

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. The EE-SX4162-P1 and EE-SX4163-P1 satisfy these requirements and are therefore functionally equivalent for applications requiring the EE-SX4162-P1-Z specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—EE-SX4162-P1-Z, EE-SX4162-P1, and EE-SX4163-P1—maintain active product status with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Each part carries REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification, ensuring consistent regulatory compliance across substitution scenarios. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and procurement requirements, as all three are functionally interchangeable within applications specifying the EE-SX4162-P1-Z.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EE-SX4162-P1 be used as a direct replacement for EE-SX4162-P1-Z?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (12V supply, 25 mA current, NPN open collector output), mechanical configuration (5mm through-beam sensing distance, chassis mount, slotted module package), and operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 85°C). They are functionally equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between EE-SX4162-P1-Z and EE-SX4163-P1?

A: Both parts are optically and electrically identical. The difference lies in the base product number designation (EE-SX4162 versus EE-SX4163), but all specified parameters—sensing distance, output configuration, supply voltage, current draw, and operating temperature—are identical. They are direct substitutes.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitute parts?

A: All three parts use identical packaging: Module, Slotted configuration suitable for chassis mounting. No packaging modifications are required when substituting between these parts.

Q: Do these parts have the same regulatory compliance?

A: Yes. All three parts carry REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification, ensuring consistent compliance across all substitution options.

Q: What inventory levels are available for these substitute parts?

A: EE-SX4162-P1-Z has 707 units in stock, EE-SX4162-P1 has 9,730 units in stock, and EE-SX4163-P1 has 20,903 units in stock. Availability should be confirmed with your supplier for current procurement needs.
