Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the OPB463P11 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Sensing distance: 0.125" (3.18mm)
• Sensing method: Through-Beam
• Output configuration: NPN - Open Collector, Inverted
• Supply voltage range: 4.5V ~ 16V
• Supply current: 7.5 mA
• Response time: 50ns
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on mounting configuration:

PCB Mount Substitutes (Direct Mechanical Equivalents):

• OPB463N11 (Active, Bulk packaging)
• OPB463T11 (Active, Bulk packaging)
• OPB473N11 (Active, Bulk packaging)

Module Mount Alternative (Different Mechanical Form Factor):

• OPB483P11Z (Active, Bulk packaging, Chassis Mount with wire leads)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using the obsolete OPB463P11, direct substitution is available through OPB463N11, OPB463T11, or OPB473N11. These parts maintain identical electrical specifications and PCB mount mechanical form factor, ensuring compatibility with existing PCB layouts and circuit designs without modification.

All substitute parts carry Active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and availability. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are maintained across all alternatives, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

The OPB483P11Z represents an alternative for applications where chassis mount configuration with wire leads is acceptable. This part maintains all electrical parameters but requires mechanical redesign due to its module form factor and wire lead interface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OPB463N11, OPB463T11, and OPB473N11 be used interchangeably with OPB463P11?

A: Yes. These three parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to OPB463P11. All share identical sensing distance, output configuration, supply voltage range, current draw, response time, and operating temperature specifications. PCB mount configuration is identical across all four parts, allowing direct substitution without circuit or layout modifications.

Q: What is the difference between OPB463N11, OPB463T11, and OPB473N11?

A: The provided specifications indicate these parts are equivalent across all electrical and mechanical parameters listed. Differences, if any, exist in packaging designation or internal construction details not included in the provided parameter set. Consult manufacturer documentation for packaging-specific details.

Q: Can OPB483P11Z replace OPB463P11 in existing designs?

A: OPB483P11Z is electrically equivalent but mechanically different. It uses chassis mount configuration with wire leads instead of PCB mount through-hole design. Direct PCB substitution is not possible without mechanical redesign and circuit board layout modification.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. OPB463N11, OPB463T11, OPB473N11, and OPB483P11Z are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of OPB463P11.

Q: What is the product status of the substitute parts?

A: OPB463N11, OPB463T11, OPB473N11, and OPB483P11Z all carry Active product status, confirming current manufacturer support and ongoing availability.
