Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the OPB667T is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Sensing Distance: 0.125" (3.18mm) through-beam configuration
  • Output Configuration: Pull-up resistor with inverted logic
  • Mounting Type: Through-hole PCB mount
  • Electrical Specifications: 4.5V to 16V supply voltage, 12 mA supply current, 30ns response time
  • Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 100°C
  • Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected

The OPB667N qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical characteristics, sensing method, and mechanical mounting requirements. The primary distinction is product status and packaging format.
