HOA6980-P55 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HOA6980-P55 is an optical sensor manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions, designed as a through-beam optical sensor with 0.125" (3.18mm) sensing distance in a module format with wire leads. This component operates with totem pole buffer output configuration and is suitable for chassis mount applications.

The HOA6980-P55 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production runs, repairs, and system upgrades where this sensor specification remains functionally required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HOA6980-P55 are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Sensing Distance: 0.125" (3.18mm) through-beam configuration
• Sensing Method: Through-beam optical detection
• Output Configuration: Totem pole buffer output
• Mounting Type: Chassis mount with wire leads
• Supply Current: 15 mA
• Response Time: 70ns
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 70°C
• Package Format: Module with wire leads

The substitute parts OPB930W51Z and OPB980P55Z meet all these critical parameters. Both are manufactured by TT Electronics/Optek Technology and maintain functional and electrical compatibility with the original HOA6980-P55 specification. The primary difference between the main part and substitutes is the supply voltage range, which is narrower in the substitute parts (4.75V ~ 5.25V) compared to the main part (4.5V ~ 7V).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both OPB930W51Z and OPB980P55Z are active product alternatives to the obsolete HOA6980-P55. Selection between these substitutes should be based on the following factors:

Product Availability: OPB930W51Z has 2332 units in stock, while OPB980P55Z has 995 units in stock, compared to 869 units of the original HOA6980-P55.

Compliance Status: Both substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing enhanced environmental and regulatory alignment compared to the original RoHS compliant designation.

Voltage Supply Range: The substitute parts operate within a narrower voltage range (4.75V ~ 5.25V) versus the original part (4.5V ~ 7V). Applications requiring operation at the extremes of the original voltage range (below 4.75V or above 5.25V) must account for this specification difference.

Functional Equivalence: Both substitutes maintain identical sensing distance, sensing method, output configuration, mounting type, supply current, response time, and operating temperature range as the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OPB930W51Z and OPB980P55Z be used interchangeably with HOA6980-P55?

A: Both parts meet the core functional and electrical specifications of the HOA6980-P55, including 0.125" (3.18mm) through-beam sensing distance, 15 mA supply current, 70ns response time, and -40°C ~ 70°C operating temperature. The primary consideration is the narrower supply voltage range (4.75V ~ 5.25V) in the substitutes compared to the original (4.5V ~ 7V).

Q: What is the difference between OPB930W51Z and OPB980P55Z?

A: Both parts are manufactured by TT Electronics/Optek Technology and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is inventory availability: OPB930W51Z has 2332 units in stock, while OPB980P55Z has 995 units in stock.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both OPB930W51Z and OPB980P55Z carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The original HOA6980-P55 is RoHS compliant. Both substitutes also carry REACH unaffected status.

Q: Does the package format remain the same?

A: Yes. All three parts use the same package format: Module with wire leads, suitable for chassis mount applications.

Q: What is the impact of the narrower voltage range in the substitute parts?

A: The substitute parts operate within 4.75V ~ 5.25V, while the original operates within 4.5V ~ 7V. Applications designed to operate at supply voltages below 4.75V or above 5.25V must be evaluated for compatibility with the substitute parts.

Q: Are there any differences in response time or sensing distance?

A: No. All three parts maintain identical response time (70ns) and sensing distance (0.125" / 3.18mm).
