Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EX-F71-PN-C5 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Sensor Type: Liquid Leakage detection capability
• Output Type: PNP open collector configuration
• Electrical Interface: Compatible signal output for existing circuit integration
• Compliance Standards: RoHS compliance and export classification (ECCN)
• Tariff Classification: HTSUS code alignment for procurement consistency

The EX-F61-PN-C5 satisfies all substitution criteria as a direct functional equivalent from the successor EX-F60 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EX-F61-PN-C5 is the designated substitute for the obsolete EX-F71-PN-C5. Selection of the EX-F61-PN-C5 is supported by:

• Active Product Status: The EX-F61-PN-C5 maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Enhanced Compliance: ROHS3 compliance represents current regulatory alignment, superseding the earlier RoHS standard of the EX-F71-PN-C5.
• Functional Equivalence: Identical sensor type, output configuration, and electrical interface enable direct substitution in existing applications.
• Regulatory Alignment: Matching ECCN and HTSUS classifications ensure consistent export and procurement documentation.
• Moisture Sensitivity Consistency: Both parts maintain MSL 1 rating, confirming equivalent handling and storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EX-F61-PN-C5 be used as a direct replacement for the EX-F71-PN-C5?

A: Yes. Both sensors share identical sensor type (Liquid Leakage), output type (PNP open collector), and electrical interface specifications. The EX-F61-PN-C5 is the active successor from the EX-F60 series.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard for RoHS compliance. The EX-F61-PN-C5 meets this updated standard, while the EX-F71-PN-C5 meets the earlier RoHS specification. Both are compliant with their respective regulatory frameworks.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The EX-F71-PN-C5 is packaged with standard designation, while the EX-F61-PN-C5 is supplied in Box packaging. Packaging does not affect electrical or functional compatibility.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The EX-F71-PN-C5 (obsolete) has 1019 pieces in stock. The EX-F61-PN-C5 (active) has 2400 pieces in stock, providing greater availability for new orders and ongoing supply.

Q: Are the export classifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 9026.10.2040 classifications, ensuring consistent export documentation and procurement procedures.
