EX-F72-PN-C5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EX-F72-PN-C5 is a Liquid Leakage Sensor with PNP open collector output, manufactured by Panasonic Industrial Automation Sales. This sensor is part of the EX-F70 series and is currently classified as obsolete. Due to its discontinued status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is essential for system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing. The EX-F62-PN-C5 from the EX-F60 series serves as the manufacturer-recommended alternative for applications requiring liquid leakage detection with PNP output configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The EX-F62-PN-C5 qualifies as a direct substitute for the EX-F72-PN-C5 based on the following critical parameters:

• Sensor Type: Both parts are Liquid Leakage sensors
• Output Type: Both feature PNP open collector output configuration
• RoHS Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)
• Packaging: Both are supplied in Box packaging
• Manufacturer: Both are manufactured by Panasonic Industrial Automation Sales

The primary difference is the series designation (EX-F70 versus EX-F60) and product status (Obsolete versus Active). The EX-F62-PN-C5 represents the active product line continuation with equivalent functional and electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EX-F62-PN-C5 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete EX-F72-PN-C5. Both parts maintain identical functional specifications for liquid leakage detection with PNP open collector output. The EX-F62-PN-C5 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts carry RoHS compliance certification and equivalent moisture sensitivity ratings, supporting direct substitution in existing applications without modification to electrical or mechanical interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EX-F62-PN-C5 directly replace the EX-F72-PN-C5 in existing installations?
