Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EE-SX910P-R 1M is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Sensing Method: Through-Beam configuration must be maintained
• Sensing Distance: 0.197" (5mm) specification must match
• Output Configuration: PNP output type is required for circuit compatibility
• Mounting Type: Chassis mount with wire leads and slot type package
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C ~ 55°C operational envelope
• Amplified Type: Module-based amplified sensor design

The EE-SX950P-R 1M meets all substitution criteria. While it introduces selectable Dark-ON/Light-ON output functionality, this represents an enhancement rather than a deviation from the core PNP output requirement, as the selectable feature provides backward compatibility with existing PNP open collector circuit designs.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EE-SX950P-R 1M is the direct substitute for the obsolete EE-SX910P-R 1M. Selection is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The EE-SX950P-R 1M maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, whereas the EE-SX910P-R 1M is obsolete and subject to end-of-life inventory constraints.

Regulatory Compliance: The EE-SX950P-R 1M carries ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The EE-SX910P-R 1M compliance status is not fully defined.

Functional Compatibility: Both sensors maintain identical sensing distance, through-beam method, PNP output type, operating temperature range, and physical package configuration. The selectable Dark-ON/Light-ON output feature in the EE-SX950P-R 1M provides operational flexibility without compromising compatibility with existing PNP open collector circuits.

Electrical Specifications: The EE-SX950P-R 1M specifies maximum collector current of 15 mA and collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 24 V, establishing defined electrical operating parameters for circuit design validation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EE-SX950P-R 1M directly replace the EE-SX910P-R 1M in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both sensors share identical sensing distance (0.197" / 5mm), through-beam sensing method, PNP output configuration, operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C), and physical package format (module with wire leads, slot type, chassis mount). The EE-SX950P-R 1M is functionally compatible with circuits designed for the EE-SX910P-R 1M.

Q: What is the difference between the output configurations of these two sensors?

A: The EE-SX910P-R 1M provides fixed PNP open collector output. The EE-SX950P-R 1M provides selectable Dark-ON/Light-ON output while maintaining PNP configuration. This selectability allows the EE-SX950P-R 1M to operate in either mode, making it compatible with applications requiring either output polarity.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these two sensors?

A: No. Both sensors use identical packaging: module format with wire leads, slot type configuration, and chassis mount design. Physical installation and connection methods are equivalent.

Q: Why is the EE-SX910P-R 1M listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The EE-SX950P-R 1M represents the current active product line for this sensor category from Omron, offering equivalent functionality with enhanced features and current regulatory compliance.

Q: What electrical parameters should be considered when implementing the EE-SX950P-R 1M?

A: The EE-SX950P-R 1M specifies maximum DC forward current of 50 mA, maximum collector current of 15 mA, and maximum collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 24 V. Circuit design must remain within these electrical limits.
