Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EX-F71-PN is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Sensor Type: Liquid Leakage detection capability
• Output Type: PNP - Open Collector configuration
• RoHS Compliance: Environmental regulatory alignment
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited) handling capability
• Packaging: Box format for component integration
• ECCN and HTSUS Classification: Trade compliance alignment

The EX-F61-PN qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and improved inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EX-F61-PN serves as the direct equivalent for the obsolete EX-F71-PN. Both components maintain identical functional specifications across sensor type, output configuration, and compliance certifications. The EX-F61-PN offers the advantage of active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (52,588 units versus 849 units), ensuring supply chain continuity. Both parts meet RoHS environmental standards and share identical trade classification codes, supporting seamless integration into existing procurement and regulatory frameworks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EX-F61-PN directly replace the EX-F71-PN in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical sensor type (Liquid Leakage), output configuration (PNP - Open Collector), MSL rating (1 - Unlimited), and packaging format (Box). Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained across all critical parameters.

Q: What is the difference between the EX-F70 and EX-F60 series?

A: The EX-F70 series (EX-F71-PN) is obsolete, while the EX-F60 series (EX-F61-PN) maintains active product status. Both series employ identical functional specifications for liquid leakage detection with PNP open collector output.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The EX-F61-PN carries ROHS3 certification, representing the current regulatory standard. Both share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8543.70.9860) classifications.

Q: What is the inventory situation for each part?

A: The EX-F71-PN has 849 units available. The EX-F61-PN has 52,588 units in stock, providing substantially greater supply availability for new orders and long-term procurement planning.

Q: Are there any electrical parameter differences that would affect circuit design?

A: No electrical parameter differences exist between the parts. Both operate with PNP - Open Collector output configuration and identical MSL rating, requiring no circuit redesign for substitution.
