Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EX-F72 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Sensor Type: Liquid Leakage detection capability
• Output Type: NPN Open Collector configuration
• Operating Temperature Range: -10°C ~ 60°C
• RoHS Compliance: Environmental regulatory requirement
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The EX-F62 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and functional parameters. Both sensors share identical output architecture, temperature operating range, and regulatory compliance status. The EX-F62 represents an active product from the successor EX-F60 series, providing continued availability and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EX-F62 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete EX-F72. Both components maintain identical functional specifications for liquid leakage detection with NPN Open Collector output. The EX-F62 carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and availability. ROHS3 compliance of the EX-F62 represents an enhanced regulatory standard compared to the RoHS Compliant designation of the EX-F72, providing superior environmental qualification. Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence for export and tariff purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EX-F62 directly replace the EX-F72 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both sensors share identical output type (NPN Open Collector), operating temperature range (-10°C ~ 60°C), and sensor functionality (Liquid Leakage detection). Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed across all specified parameters.

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

A: ROHS3 represents the current revision of the RoHS Directive with updated substance restrictions. The EX-F62 meets the latest regulatory standard, while the EX-F72 meets the earlier RoHS Compliant specification. Both are compliant; ROHS3 is the more current certification.

Q: Why is the EX-F72 listed as Obsolete?

A: The EX-F72 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The EX-F62 from the successor EX-F60 series is the active replacement, ensuring continued component availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between EX-F72 and EX-F62?

A: The EX-F62 is packaged in Box format. Packaging specifications for the EX-F72 were not provided in the technical data. Verify packaging requirements against your assembly process specifications.

Q: Do both sensors have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. Both the EX-F72 and EX-F62 carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
