Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the KT3W-N1115 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Sensing Distance: 0.492" (12.5mm)
• Voltage Supply Range: 12V ~ 24V
• Output Configuration: NPN
• Light Source: RGB LED
• Ingress Protection: IP67
• Operating Temperature Range: -10°C ~ 55°C (TA)

The KTM-WN11182P qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both sensors operate within the same supply voltage range, provide NPN output, utilize RGB LED light sources, and meet the same ingress protection and temperature specifications. The primary difference lies in connection method and response time characteristics, which do not preclude functional substitution in applications designed for the KT3W-N1115.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The KTM-WN11182P is the designated substitute for the obsolete KT3W-N1115. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

The KTM-WN11182P maintains active product status with SICK, Inc., ensuring ongoing availability and technical support. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, sensing distance, output configuration, and environmental protection ratings. The KTM-WN11182P demonstrates improved response time performance (32µs versus 50µs), which provides enhanced detection capability without compromising compatibility.

Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence. The KTM-WN11182P is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and compliance standards.

The primary distinction is the connection method: the KT3W-N1115 uses an M12 connector interface, while the KTM-WN11182P employs a cable with connector configuration featuring 78.74" (2m) cable length. Integration of the substitute requires mechanical interface adaptation appropriate to the application's installation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes KTM-WN11182P a valid substitute for KT3W-N1115?

A: Both sensors maintain identical sensing distance (12.5mm), supply voltage range (12V ~ 24V), output configuration (NPN), light source (RGB LED), ingress protection (IP67), and operating temperature specifications (-10°C ~ 55°C). These parameters define functional equivalence for optical sensor substitution.

Q: How does the response time difference affect substitution?

A: The KTM-WN11182P provides faster response time (32µs) compared to the KT3W-N1115 (50µs). This represents improved performance and does not create compatibility issues in applications designed for the original part.

Q: What is the significance of the connection method difference?

A: The KT3W-N1115 uses M12 connector interface, while the KTM-WN11182P uses cable with connector. Applications must accommodate this mechanical interface difference through appropriate wiring and connector adaptation.

Q: Why is product status relevant to substitution?

A: The KT3W-N1115 is obsolete, making continued supply unavailable. The KTM-WN11182P maintains active status, ensuring reliable availability and manufacturer support for new installations and replacements.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The KTM-WN11182P includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements.
