Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The EX-F62-PN qualifies as a direct substitute for the EX-F72-PN based on the following critical parameters:

• Sensor Type: Both components function as Liquid Leakage sensors
• Output Type: Both provide PNP open collector output
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Packaging: Both supplied in Box packaging
• RoHS Compliance: Both meet RoHS environmental standards

The EX-F62-PN represents an active product from the EX-F60 series, providing functional continuity for applications previously using the obsolete EX-F72-PN from the EX-F70 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EX-F62-PN is the designated substitute for the obsolete EX-F72-PN. Selection is based on:

• Product Status Alignment: The EX-F62-PN maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Functional Equivalence: Both sensors share identical sensor type and output configuration (Liquid Leakage detection with PNP open collector output)
• Compliance Standards: Both components meet RoHS environmental requirements, with the EX-F62-PN meeting the more recent ROHS3 standard
• Moisture Sensitivity Parity: Identical MSL ratings ensure equivalent performance in moisture-sensitive environments
• Export Classification: Both components carry the same ECCN classification (EAR99), maintaining regulatory consistency

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both sensors share identical sensor type (Liquid Leakage), output type (PNP open collector), and moisture sensitivity ratings. The EX-F62-PN is the manufacturer-recommended substitute.

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

A: The EX-F70 series (containing EX-F72-PN) is obsolete. The EX-F60 series (containing EX-F62-PN) represents the active product line with equivalent functional specifications and updated RoHS3 compliance.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the EX-F72-PN and EX-F62-PN are supplied in Box packaging, ensuring consistent handling and storage requirements.

Q: Does the EX-F62-PN meet the same environmental standards as the EX-F72-PN?

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS compliant. The EX-F62-PN additionally meets ROHS3 standards, representing an enhancement in environmental compliance.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity rating for these sensors?

A: Both sensors carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
