KT5W-2P2113 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KT5W-2P2113 is an optical contrast sensor manufactured by SICK, Inc., designed for applications requiring 10mm sensing distance with PNP output configuration and selectable Dark-ON/Light-ON operation. This sensor features RGB LED illumination, M12 5-position connector interface, and IP67 ingress protection for industrial environments.

The KT5W-2P2113 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality and ensure continued availability for replacement and new installations where this sensor was previously specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the KT5W-2P2113 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Output Configuration: PNP topology with Dark-ON/Light-ON capability
• Light Source: RGB LED illumination
• Connection Method: M12 connector interface
• Ingress Protection: IP67 rating
• Voltage Supply Range: Overlap with 10V ~ 30V specification
• Operating Temperature Range: Coverage of -10°C ~ 55°C minimum requirement

Substitution Logic: Parts 1078068 and 1078099 maintain identical output configuration (PNP - Dark-ON/Light-ON), RGB LED light source, M12 connector, and IP67 protection. These parts operate within compatible voltage ranges (10.8V ~ 28.8V) and extended temperature ranges (-20°C ~ 60°C). The increased sensing distance (0.512" vs 0.394") and improved response time (10µs vs 50µs) represent functional enhancements suitable for direct substitution in most applications.

Part 1078123 provides an alternative with Push-Pull NPN/PNP output configuration, offering broader output topology compatibility while maintaining all other critical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct PNP Replacement (1078068 or 1078099): Parts 1078068 and 1078099 are active products from the KTX Prime series and provide direct functional substitution for the obsolete KT5W-2P2113. Both maintain PNP output configuration with Dark-ON/Light-ON operation. The extended operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 60°C) and improved response time (10µs) represent performance enhancements. The increased sensing distance (13mm vs 10mm) must be evaluated against specific application geometry requirements.

For Output Configuration Flexibility (1078123): Part 1078123 offers Push-Pull NPN/PNP output configuration, providing broader compatibility with control systems designed for either output topology. This part is suitable when the application can accommodate dual output capability or when NPN output is preferred.

Product Status Consideration: All three substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete KT5W-2P2113.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1078068 or 1078099 be used as direct replacements for KT5W-2P2113? A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical output configuration (PNP - Dark-ON/Light-ON), RGB LED light source, M12 connector interface, and IP67 protection. The voltage supply ranges overlap (10.8V ~ 28.8V falls within the original 10V ~ 30V specification), and operating temperature ranges are extended. The primary difference is increased sensing distance (13mm vs 10mm), which must be verified against application requirements.

Q: What is the difference between 1078068 and 1078099? A: Both parts are electrically and functionally identical. The difference lies in packaging designation. Part selection should be based on procurement and inventory requirements.

Q: When should 1078123 be selected instead of 1078068 or 1078099? A: Part 1078123 should be selected when the application requires Push-Pull output topology or when NPN output capability is necessary. This part provides broader output configuration flexibility while maintaining all other critical parameters.

Q: Does the increased sensing distance (13mm vs 10mm) affect compatibility? A: The increased sensing distance represents a functional enhancement. Applications requiring the original 10mm distance must verify that the 13mm distance does not create false triggers or detection issues in the specific installation geometry.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the original M12 connector? A: All substitute parts use M12 connector interface. However, the original KT5W-2P2113 specifies M12 5-position connector, while substitute parts specify M12 connector without position specification. Connector pin configuration must be verified during integration.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts? A: Part 1078068 has 900 units in stock, part 1078099 has 915 units in stock, and part 1078123 has 895 units in stock, all listed as new original inventory.
