Omron EE-SX910-R 1M Optical Sensor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Omron EE-SX910-R 1M is a through-beam optical sensor designed for slot-type applications with 0.197" (5mm) sensing distance and NPN open collector output configuration. This component operates across the industrial temperature range of -25°C to 55°C and is classified as an amplified module with wire leads for chassis mounting.

The EE-SX910-R 1M is currently listed as obsolete. Identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system continuity and ensure procurement availability for new designs or field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the EE-SX910-R 1M are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Sensing distance: 0.197" (5mm)
• Sensing method: Through-Beam
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Package type: Module, Wire Leads, Slot Type
• Sensor type: Amplified
• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 55°C

The substitute parts EE-SX950-R 1M and EE-SX950-W 1M meet all these core requirements. Both are active products from Omron Automation and Safety within the EE-SX95 series. The primary difference between the main part and substitutes is the output configuration: the EE-SX910-R 1M provides NPN open collector output, while the EE-SX950 variants offer NPN dark-ON/light-ON selectable output, providing additional operational flexibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both EE-SX950-R 1M and EE-SX950-W 1M are suitable substitutes for the obsolete EE-SX910-R 1M based on matching core sensing parameters and mechanical form factor.

The EE-SX950 series parts offer the advantage of active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. Both substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The selectable dark-ON/light-ON output configuration of the EE-SX950 variants provides operational flexibility not present in the fixed open collector output of the original part.

Selection between EE-SX950-R 1M and EE-SX950-W 1M should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability, as both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EE-SX950-R 1M or EE-SX950-W 1M directly replace the EE-SX910-R 1M in existing applications?

A: Yes, both EE-SX950 variants are direct substitutes. They maintain identical sensing distance (0.197" / 5mm), through-beam sensing method, chassis mount configuration, and amplified module type. The selectable output configuration of the EE-SX950 series is compatible with applications designed for NPN open collector output.

Q: What is the difference between EE-SX950-R 1M and EE-SX950-W 1M?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The designation difference (R vs. W) reflects packaging or distribution channel variations. Electrical specifications, sensing parameters, and performance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Why is the EE-SX910-R 1M listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer based on market demand and product lifecycle management. The EE-SX950 series represents the current active product line for this sensing application category.

Q: Are there any electrical parameter differences I should consider?

A: The EE-SX950 variants specify maximum collector current (15 mA) and collector-emitter breakdown voltage (24 V), which were not provided for the original EE-SX910-R 1M. These specifications should be verified against your circuit design requirements to ensure compatibility.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute parts?

A: Both EE-SX950-R 1M and EE-SX950-W 1M are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components.
