Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IA08FSN02NC is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Sensor Type: Inductive technology must be maintained for functional equivalence
• Supply Voltage Range: 10V ~ 30V compatibility ensures direct integration into existing circuits
• Package / Case: Cylinder, Threaded - M8 mechanical form factor enables direct mounting replacement
• Ingress Protection: IP67 rating maintains environmental sealing requirements
• Termination Style: Cable leads provide consistent connection methodology

The ICS08S30N40A2IO substitute part satisfies these core substitution criteria while introducing enhanced specifications in sensing distance, response frequency, and operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ICS08S30N40A2IO serves as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete IA08FSN02NC. Both components maintain identical supply voltage specifications (10V ~ 30V), mechanical packaging (M8 cylinder threaded), and ingress protection rating (IP67), enabling direct replacement in existing applications.

The substitute part is classified as Active product status with RoHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. Both components share identical REACH status (REACH Unaffected) and ECCN classification (EAR99), maintaining consistent export and compliance documentation requirements.

The ICS08S30N40A2IO introduces enhanced specifications including extended sensing distance (4mm versus 2mm), increased response frequency (2kHz versus 500Hz), and stainless steel body construction. These improvements provide superior performance characteristics while maintaining backward compatibility with the original supply voltage and mechanical interface requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ICS08S30N40A2IO directly replace the IA08FSN02NC in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical supply voltage range (10V ~ 30V), M8 threaded cylinder package, IP67 ingress protection, and cable lead termination. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible for direct substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference in sensing capability between these parts?

A: The IA08FSN02NC provides 2mm sensing distance, while the ICS08S30N40A2IO extends this to 4mm. Applications requiring detection at greater distances benefit from the substitute part's enhanced range.

Q: Does the configurable output type of the ICS08S30N40A2IO affect compatibility?

A: The substitute's configurable output accommodates the original NPN-NC 3-wire configuration while providing additional output options. Existing circuit designs operate without modification.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between these components?

A: Both parts maintain identical REACH status (REACH Unaffected) and ECCN classification (EAR99). The substitute achieves RoHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements. No additional compliance documentation is required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the stainless steel body in the substitute part?

A: The ICS08S30N40A2IO's stainless steel construction provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the diecast metal body of the original part, extending operational life in corrosive environments while maintaining identical mechanical dimensions.

Q: Is the increased response frequency (2kHz versus 500Hz) relevant for all applications?

A: The faster response frequency of the substitute part benefits high-speed detection applications. For applications operating below 500Hz switching rates, both components perform equivalently.
