Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can OPB980L55Z directly replace OPB990N55Z in existing designs?
A: Yes. The OPB980L55Z maintains identical electrical specifications (15 mA supply current, 4.75V ~ 5.25V supply voltage, 70ns response time), mechanical configuration (chassis mount, module with wire leads), sensing characteristics (0.125" through-beam), and output configuration (totem pole, buffer). No circuit modifications are required.
Q: What is the difference between OPB980L55Z, OPB980P55Z, and OPB980T11Z?
A: These parts differ only in internal configuration codes (L, P, T designations) and packaging variants (55Z, 11Z suffixes). All three maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters specified for substitution. Selection depends on packaging requirements and internal circuit configuration needs specific to your application.
Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?
A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of the OPB990N55Z.
Q: Why is OPB990N55Z listed as obsolete?
A: The OPB990N55Z has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Active alternatives within the same Photologic® series provide equivalent functionality with ongoing manufacturer support and supply availability.
Q: Can I use OPB930W51Z or OPB940W51Z as alternatives?
A: Yes. Both OPB930W51Z and OPB940W51Z are functionally equivalent substitutes with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection should be based on packaging preference (bulk packaging available for all) and inventory availability for your supply chain requirements.
