Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the KT5RG-2P1116 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Sensing Distance: The original part operates at 0.394" (10mm). Substitute parts must accommodate applications requiring similar or extended sensing ranges.
• Output Configuration: The original part provides PNP output. Substitute parts offering Push-Pull or NPN/PNP configurations provide functional equivalence through expanded output flexibility.
• Voltage Supply Range: The original part operates at 10V ~ 30V. Substitute parts must operate within overlapping or compatible voltage ranges.
• Connection Method: M12 connector integration is maintained across all substitute parts.
• Ingress Protection: IP67 rating is maintained across all substitute parts.
• Response Time: The original part specifies 200µs. Substitute parts with faster response times (20µs) provide improved performance characteristics.

The identified substitute parts (1078120 and KTS-WB41141142) are both manufactured by SICK, Inc., belong to the KTS Core series, and maintain active product status, ensuring long-term availability and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts (1078120 and KTS-WB41141142) are active products manufactured by SICK, Inc., providing assured long-term availability and technical support compared to the obsolete KT5RG-2P1116.

The substitute parts feature improved response time (20µs versus 200µs), expanded operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 60°C versus -10°C ~ 55°C), and Push-Pull output configuration with selectable NPN/PNP modes, offering greater design flexibility.

The KTS-WB41141142 includes a 196.85" (5m) integrated cable and ROHS3 compliance certification. The 1078120 is supplied in bulk packaging.

Both substitute parts operate at 0.512" (13mm) sensing distance, representing a 30% increase over the original 10mm specification. Applications requiring the original 10mm sensing distance must evaluate whether the extended range accommodates system requirements.

Voltage supply ranges for substitute parts (10.8V ~ 28.8V) are compatible with the original specification (10V ~ 30V) across standard industrial power supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1078120 or KTS-WB41141142 directly replace the KT5RG-2P1116 in existing installations?

A: Both substitute parts maintain M12 connector integration and IP67 ingress protection. The primary difference is sensing distance: substitute parts operate at 0.512" (13mm) versus the original 10mm. Applications must confirm that the extended sensing range is compatible with existing mechanical mounting and detection requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the 1078120 and KTS-WB41141142?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical specifications. The KTS-WB41141142 includes an integrated 196.85" (5m) cable and ROHS3 compliance documentation. The 1078120 is supplied in bulk packaging without integrated cable. Selection depends on cable integration requirements and compliance documentation needs.

Q: Are the substitute parts compatible with the original 10V ~ 30V supply voltage?

A: Yes. The substitute parts operate at 10.8V ~ 28.8V, which overlaps the original specification across standard industrial power supply ranges. Both specifications are compatible with typical 12V, 24V, and 28V DC industrial systems.

Q: What output configuration should be selected for the substitute parts?

A: The substitute parts offer Push-Pull output with selectable NPN/PNP modes. For direct functional replacement of the original PNP configuration, select PNP mode. The Push-Pull architecture provides additional flexibility for applications requiring NPN output.

Q: How does the improved response time affect system performance?

A: The substitute parts feature 20µs response time compared to the original 200µs specification, representing a 10-fold improvement. This faster response enables detection of higher-speed object transitions and improves system timing precision in dynamic applications.

Q: What is the significance of the RGB LED light source in substitute parts?

A: The substitute parts employ RGB LED technology compared to the original Red (640nm) and Green (525nm) discrete sources. RGB LED integration provides multi-wavelength capability within a single component, enabling enhanced contrast detection across diverse material surfaces and colors.
