OPB993N51Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The OPB993N51Z is an optical sensor manufactured by TT Electronics/Optek Technology, part of the Photologic® series. This through-beam optical sensor operates at 0.125" (3.18mm) sensing distance with NPN open collector inverted output configuration. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Active alternatives within the same product family maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering current availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: sensing distance (0.125"), sensing method (through-beam), output configuration (NPN open collector inverted), supply voltage range (4.75V ~ 5.25V), current draw (15 mA), response time (70ns), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 70°C), mounting type (chassis mount), and package format (module with wire leads). All substitute parts listed maintain these specifications without deviation. Substitutes are grouped by base product number (OPB933, OPB943, OPB983, OPB993) with variant suffixes indicating packaging and lead configuration options. Product status transition from obsolete (OPB993N51Z) to active alternatives ensures design continuity and supply chain reliability.
