PD30ETD10PASA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PD30ETD10PASA is a reflective, diffuse optical sensor manufactured by Carlo Gavazzi Inc., designed for 1-meter (39.370") sensing distance applications. This sensor features PNP output configuration, operates across 10V to 30V supply voltage, and is housed in a cable-connected package with IP68/IP69K ingress protection. The product is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PD30ETD10PASA is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Core Substitution Criteria:

• Sensing method: Reflective, Diffuse
• Sensing distance: 39.370" (1m) or 39.37" (1m)
• Supply voltage range: 10V ~ 30V
• Response time: 500µs
• Light source: Infrared or Red (617nm)
• Connection method: Cable
• Ingress protection: IP67, IP68, or IP69K
• Cable length: 78.74" (2m)
• Adjustment type: Adjustable, Potentiometer
• Operating temperature: -25°C ~ 60°C (TA)

The PD30ETDR10BPA2IO qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters. While the substitute offers Push-Pull output configuration (NPN/PNP) compared to the original PNP-only output, it maintains all other critical electrical and mechanical specifications required for functional equivalence in reflective optical sensing applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PD30ETDR10BPA2IO is the qualified substitute for the obsolete PD30ETD10PASA. The substitute maintains active product status with Carlo Gavazzi Inc., ensuring ongoing availability and support. Both sensors operate within identical electrical parameters (10V ~ 30V supply, 500µs response time) and mechanical specifications (1-meter sensing distance, 2-meter cable length, potentiometer adjustment).

The primary difference is output configuration: the original part provides PNP output only, while the substitute offers Push-Pull configuration with selectable NPN/PNP operation. This enhanced flexibility in the substitute part allows integration into systems originally designed for PNP output while supporting broader application requirements.

The substitute maintains equivalent ingress protection ratings (IP67, IP68, IP69K) suitable for harsh industrial environments. Both sensors employ the same sensing method and cable connection approach, ensuring mechanical and optical compatibility in existing mounting and installation configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PD30ETDR10BPA2IO directly replace the PD30ETD10PASA in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both sensors share identical sensing distance (1m), supply voltage range (10V ~ 30V), response time (500µs), cable length (2m), and operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 60°C). The substitute's Push-Pull output with NPN/PNP capability is compatible with PNP-only circuit designs when configured for PNP operation.

Q: What is the difference in light source between the two parts?

A: The original part uses Infrared light (617nm), while the substitute uses Red light (617nm). Both operate at the same wavelength (617nm) and are functionally equivalent for reflective optical sensing applications.

Q: Does the substitute offer better ingress protection?

A: The substitute specifies IP67, IP68, and IP69K ratings, while the original specifies IP68 and IP69K. Both meet the same maximum protection standards (IP69K), ensuring equivalent performance in harsh industrial environments.

Q: Why is the original part classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer discontinuation. The PD30ETD10PASA has been discontinued by Carlo Gavazzi Inc., making the active PD30ETDR10BPA2IO the current equivalent solution for new designs and system replacements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original part packaging is not specified in available documentation. The substitute is supplied in Box packaging. Both use cable connection methods with identical 2-meter cable length specifications.
