Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is determined strictly by matching the provided critical parameters. These are: sensor type, sensing distance, output type, shielding, body material, termination style, operating temperature, ingress protection rating, indicator presence, and package/case format. Substitute parts listed meet the category key criteria: inductive sensor type, unshielded configuration, LED indicator, connector termination, and M18 cylindrical threaded package. Differences are identified where parameters do not strictly match.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IA18FSN08PCM1 is classified as obsolete. The substitute part ICF18L45N14M1IO is designated as active and is ROHS3 compliant with a Moisture Sensitivity Level of 1 (unlimited). IA18FSN08PCM1 is REACH unaffected and has no stated MSL, but is unavailable for new designs due to obsolete status. Substitute part selection is determined strictly by part status and regulatory compliance as supplied.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
