Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the OPB993P55 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence across the Photologic® optical sensor family. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications for sensing distance (0.125"), sensing method (through-beam), output configuration (NPN open collector inverted), mounting type (chassis mount), supply current (15 mA), supply voltage range (4.75V–5.25V), response time (70ns), operating temperature range (-40°C to 70°C), and package type (module with wire leads). The primary distinction between the main part and substitutes is product status: the OPB993P55 is obsolete, while all listed substitutes are active production parts. Additionally, substitute parts comply with ROHS3 standards, whereas the OPB993P55 is RoHS non-compliant. All parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification (8541.49.8000).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the OPB993P55 based on electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary selection criteria are product status and regulatory compliance. All substitute parts are active production components with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and adherence to current environmental regulations. The OPB993P55, being obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, should be replaced with an active equivalent for new designs or production continuity.

OPB983T51Z offers the highest inventory availability at 20,199 units, providing supply security for high-volume applications. OPB983L51Z and OPB983P51Z provide substantial inventory levels (1900 and 2108 units respectively) with active product status. OPB933W51Z and OPB933W55Z represent the OPB933 base product family with active status and ROHS3 compliance. All parts maintain identical electrical performance characteristics and are suitable for direct substitution in applications currently using the OPB993P55.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OPB933W51Z, OPB933W55Z, OPB943W51Z, OPB983L11Z, OPB983L51Z, OPB983P11Z, OPB983P51Z, OPB983T51Z, OPB993L11Z, and OPB993L55Z be used as direct replacements for OPB993P55?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications including sensing distance (0.125"), sensing method (through-beam), output configuration (NPN open collector inverted), supply voltage (4.75V–5.25V), supply current (15 mA), response time (70ns), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 70°C). Package type (module with wire leads) and mounting configuration (chassis mount) are identical across all parts.

Q: What is the difference between the OPB993P55 and the substitute parts?

A: The OPB993P55 is an obsolete product with RoHS non-compliant status. All substitute parts are active production components with ROHS3 compliance. Electrical and mechanical performance parameters are equivalent.
