Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the OPB770NZ is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Sensing Distance: 0.080" ~ 0.220" (2.03mm ~ 5.59mm)
• Sensing Method: Reflective
• Sensing Object: Kodak® Paper
• Output Configuration: Totem Pole
• Sensing Light: Infrared
• Voltage Supply Range: 4.75V ~ 5.25V
• Current Supply: 10 mA
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The OPB770TZ qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical electrical specifications, sensing characteristics, and regulatory compliance across all critical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OPB770TZ is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete OPB770NZ. Both components share identical electrical and optical specifications, ensuring functional equivalence in reflective infrared sensing applications for Kodak® Paper detection.

The primary distinction is product status: the OPB770NZ is obsolete, while the OPB770TZ maintains active production status. This transition ensures continued availability and supply chain reliability for new designs and system replacements.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. The OPB770TZ is available in Bag packaging, compared to the module packaging designation of the OPB770NZ.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the OPB770TZ directly replace the OPB770NZ in existing designs?

A: Yes. The OPB770TZ maintains identical sensing distance, output configuration, supply voltage, and current specifications. All optical and electrical parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The OPB770NZ is classified as obsolete. The OPB770TZ is the active production equivalent from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued component availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The OPB770NZ is specified as a Module package type, while the OPB770TZ is supplied in Bag packaging. Both maintain the same functional form factor and mounting characteristics.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the OPB770NZ and OPB770TZ are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying equivalent regulatory requirements.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution compatibility?

A: Sensing distance (0.080" ~ 0.220"), sensing method (reflective), output configuration (totem pole), infrared sensing light, and supply voltage range (4.75V ~ 5.25V) are the determining factors for functional equivalence.
