OPB480P11Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OPB480P11Z is a through-beam optical sensor from the TT Electronics/Optek Technology Photologic® series, designed for 0.125" (3.18mm) sensing distance applications. This part features chassis mount configuration with wire leads and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent substitute parts with active product status are available to maintain design continuity and ensure ongoing component availability for production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the OPB480P11Z is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Sensing Distance: 0.125" (3.18mm)
• Sensing Method: Through-Beam
• Output Configuration: Pull-Up Resistor, Buffer
• Current - Supply: 7.5 mA
• Voltage - Supply: 4.5V ~ 16V
• Response Time: 50ns
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

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

Category 1: Chassis Mount, Module, Wire Leads (Direct Functional Equivalents)

• OPB480T11Z
• OPB490P11Z
• OPB490T11Z

Category 2: Through Hole, PCB Mount (Functional Equivalents with Different Mounting)

• OPB460N11
• OPB470N11

Category 3: Chassis Mount, Module, Wire Leads (Active Status)

• OPB480L11Z

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications and environmental compliance ratings as the original OPB480P11Z.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OPB480P11Z is classified as obsolete and should be replaced with an active product status equivalent for new designs and ongoing production support.

For Chassis Mount Applications (Wire Leads): Select from OPB480T11Z, OPB490P11Z, or OPB490T11Z. All three parts maintain identical electrical and environmental specifications with active product status. OPB480L11Z is also available as an active chassis mount alternative.

For PCB Mount Applications (Through Hole): Select from OPB460N11 or OPB470N11. Both parts provide functional equivalence with identical electrical and environmental specifications, differing only in mounting configuration from the original wire lead design.

All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original OPB480P11Z.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OPB480P11Z be directly replaced with OPB480T11Z? A: Yes. Both parts are chassis mount modules with wire leads and share identical electrical specifications, sensing distance, response time, and environmental ratings. The primary difference is product status: OPB480P11Z is obsolete while OPB480T11Z is active.

Q: What is the difference between OPB490P11Z and OPB490T11Z? A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical and environmental specifications. The difference lies in internal design variants within the OPB490 base product line, but all parameters relevant to substitution are equivalent.

Q: Can I use OPB460N11 or OPB470N11 as replacements for OPB480P11Z? A: Yes, with a design modification. OPB460N11 and OPB470N11 are through-hole PCB mount variants that maintain all electrical and environmental specifications of the OPB480P11Z. However, they require PCB layout changes since the original part uses chassis mount with wire leads.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS and REACH compliant? A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of the original OPB480P11Z.

Q: What is the sensing distance specification for all these parts? A: All parts in this substitution group operate at 0.125" (3.18mm) sensing distance using through-beam sensing method.

Q: Do substitute parts have the same supply voltage and current requirements? A: Yes. All substitute parts operate at 4.5V to 16V supply voltage with 7.5 mA supply current, identical to the OPB480P11Z.

Q: What is the response time for these optical sensors? A: All parts in this group have a 50ns response time specification.
