Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the OPB960P55 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Sensing Distance: 0.125" (3.18mm)
  • Sensing Method: Through-Beam
  • Output Configuration: Totem Pole, Buffer
  • Mounting Type: Through Hole
  • Package / Case: PCB Mount
  • Voltage Supply Range: 4.75V ~ 5.25V
  • Current Supply: 15 mA
  • Response Time: 70ns
  • Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 70°C
  • RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
  • Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
