KT5W-2P2116 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KT5W-2P2116 is an optical sensor manufactured by SICK, Inc., featuring a 10mm sensing distance with PNP output configuration. This component operates within the 10V to 30V supply range and delivers a 50µs response time. The sensor is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally compatible alternatives from the active product portfolio to maintain system continuity and ensure ongoing component availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the KT5W-2P2116 is determined by the following critical parameters: output configuration (PNP), connection method (M12 connector), ingress protection rating (IP67), light source type (RGB LED), and adjustment capability (adjustable). The substitute parts identified—1078068, 1078099, and 1078123—share these core electrical and mechanical characteristics with the original component.

The substitute parts operate within overlapping voltage ranges (10.8V ~ 28.8V encompasses the original 10V ~ 30V specification) and maintain M12 connector compatibility and IP67 environmental protection. All substitutes feature RGB LED light sources and adjustable sensing parameters. The primary distinction among substitutes relates to output configuration: parts 1078068 and 1078099 maintain PNP output with Dark-ON/Light-ON capability, while 1078123 provides Push-Pull output supporting both NPN and PNP configurations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts (1078068, 1078099, 1078123) are classified as active products from SICK, Inc., ensuring long-term availability and ongoing manufacturer support. The KT5W-2P2116 is obsolete, making transition to an active alternative necessary for sustained component procurement.

For applications requiring direct PNP output compatibility without output configuration flexibility, parts 1078068 or 1078099 are appropriate selections. Both maintain PNP output with Dark-ON/Light-ON capability and are functionally equivalent in this regard.

For applications requiring output configuration flexibility, part 1078123 provides Push-Pull output supporting both NPN and PNP modes, enabling broader system integration scenarios.

All substitutes deliver improved response time (10µs versus 50µs) and extended operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 60°C versus -10°C ~ 55°C). The sensing distance increases from 10mm to 13mm across all substitutes; this parameter must be evaluated against specific application requirements to confirm mechanical and optical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the substitute parts directly replace the KT5W-2P2116 without circuit modifications?

A: Parts 1078068 and 1078099 maintain PNP output configuration and are electrically compatible. Part 1078123 requires circuit evaluation due to its Push-Pull output configuration. All substitutes share M12 connector, IP67 rating, and RGB LED light source specifications. The increased sensing distance (13mm versus 10mm) must be confirmed as acceptable for the application.

Q: What is the primary difference between substitute parts 1078068, 1078099, and 1078123?

A: Parts 1078068 and 1078099 provide PNP output with Dark-ON/Light-ON capability. Part 1078123 provides Push-Pull output supporting both NPN and PNP configurations. Packaging differs between 1078068 (Bulk) and 1078099/1078123 (unspecified). All three are from the KTX Prime series and share identical electrical and environmental specifications.

Q: Are there voltage supply compatibility concerns when substituting?

A: The original KT5W-2P2116 operates at 10V ~ 30V. All substitute parts operate at 10.8V ~ 28.8V. This range is contained within the original specification, ensuring compatibility with existing power supplies designed for the original component.

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

A: Substitute parts deliver 10µs response time compared to the original 50µs. This represents a five-fold improvement in switching speed. Applications sensitive to response time will benefit from this enhancement; however, circuit timing parameters must be reviewed to confirm compatibility with faster sensor response.

Q: What is the significance of the increased sensing distance in substitute parts?

A: Substitute parts feature 13mm sensing distance versus the original 10mm. This increased range may affect object detection positioning and must be evaluated against specific application geometry and target object placement to confirm functional equivalence.
