OPB962P55 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OPB962P55 is a through-beam optical sensor manufactured by TT Electronics/Optek Technology, part of the Photologic® series. This component is designed for 0.125" (3.18mm) PCB-mounted applications with totem pole inverted output configuration. The OPB962P55 is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production support. Active alternatives within the OPB962 and OPB972 base product families provide direct functional equivalence while maintaining current manufacturing status and supply availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the OPB962P55 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. All substitute candidates maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

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

Substitutes are organized into two base product families: OPB962 series (OPB962N51, OPB962N55, OPB962T51, OPB962T55) and OPB972 series (OPB972L51, OPB972N51, OPB972P51, OPB972T51, OPB972T55). All substitute parts maintain active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the OPB962P55. Selection among active alternatives should be based on product availability and supply chain requirements. All substitute candidates are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and production applications.

OPB962 series substitutes (OPB962N51, OPB962N55, OPB962T51, OPB962T55) maintain the same base product designation as the original OPB962P55, providing direct functional replacement within the same product line. OPB972 series substitutes (OPB972L51, OPB972N51, OPB972P51, OPB972T51, OPB972T55) represent alternative base product variants with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Current inventory levels across all substitute parts range from 692 to 2905 units, supporting both prototype and production-volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OPB962P55 be directly replaced with any of the listed substitutes?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications (15 mA supply current, 4.75V ~ 5.25V supply voltage, 70ns response time), mechanical parameters (0.125" sensing distance, through-hole PCB mount), and output configuration (totem pole inverted). Direct pin-for-pin and functional replacement is supported.

Q: What is the difference between OPB962 and OPB972 series substitutes?

A: Both series share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the parameters listed. The difference lies in the base product family designation. OPB962 series maintains the same base product line as the original OPB962P55, while OPB972 series represents an alternative base product family. Both are functionally equivalent for this application.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these optical sensors?

A: All parts, including the OPB962P55 and all substitutes, operate across -40°C to 70°C. This range applies to all listed alternatives.

Q: Does packaging differ between substitute options?

A: The OPB962P55 is specified with no packaging designation in the original data. All substitute parts are available in bulk packaging. The PCB mount case type remains consistent across all alternatives.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these components?

A: All parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly processes.
