Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part groupings are determined strictly based on the following allowed parameters: category, sensing method, output configuration, mounting type, operating temperature, package/case, RoHS compliance, and moisture sensitivity level. Only parts with matching or compatible values in these parameters are considered for direct substitution in this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PM-F54 is classified as obsolete. Substitute selection should prioritize parts assigned active status with equivalent regulatory compliance, including RoHS and MSL 1 (Unlimited). PM-F45 meets these criteria and matches the critical parameters of sensing method, mounting type, package, and environmental ratings as specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How are substitutes identified for the PM-F54 optical sensor?
