OPB460P11 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OPB460P11 is a through-beam optical sensor from TT Electronics/Optek Technology's Photologic® series, designed for 0.125" (3.18mm) sensing distance applications with PCB mount configuration. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance requirements. Substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the OPB460P11 is determined by matching the following critical parameters: sensing distance (0.125"), sensing method (through-beam), output configuration (pull-up resistor with buffer), supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 16V), current consumption (7.5 mA), response time (50ns), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). All substitute parts listed maintain these specifications. Mounting type variations (PCB mount versus chassis mount with wire leads) represent the only mechanical difference among qualified substitutes and do not affect electrical compatibility when proper mechanical adaptation is implemented.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

OPB460N11 and OPB460T11 are direct PCB mount substitutes for OPB460P11, offering identical mounting configuration and electrical specifications with active product status. OPB470N11 maintains all electrical and mechanical parameters while using an alternative base product number within the same Photologic® series. OPB490P11Z provides electrical equivalence but requires mechanical adaptation due to chassis mount configuration with wire leads instead of PCB mount through-hole design. All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original part's environmental certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OPB460N11 directly replace OPB460P11 without circuit modification? A: Yes. OPB460N11 maintains identical electrical specifications (4.5V ~ 16V supply, 7.5 mA current, 50ns response time) and PCB mount through-hole configuration, enabling direct substitution without circuit changes.

Q: What is the difference between OPB460N11, OPB460T11, and OPB470N11? A: All three parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Differences exist only in packaging designation and base product number classification within the Photologic® series. Selection among these three is based on availability and procurement requirements.

Q: Can OPB490P11Z replace OPB460P11 in existing PCB designs? A: OPB490P11Z provides electrical equivalence but uses chassis mount with wire leads instead of PCB mount through-hole configuration. Mechanical redesign or adapter implementation is required for board-level integration.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. OPB460N11, OPB460T11, OPB470N11, and OPB490P11Z all carry ROHS3 compliance certification, matching the original OPB460P11 specification.

Q: What determines substitution compatibility for through-beam optical sensors? A: Substitution compatibility is determined by matching sensing distance (0.125"), sensing method (through-beam), output configuration (pull-up resistor with buffer), supply voltage range (4.5V ~ 16V), current consumption (7.5 mA), response time (50ns), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). Mounting type variations do not affect electrical compatibility.
