15ms and 20ms response time options
-10°C to 55°C operating temperature range
Chassis mount configuration with module wire leads packaging
RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating

Availability Considerations:

All substitute parts are in active production status with confirmed inventory availability. Selection among SF2-EH12, SF2-EH16, SF2-EH20, SF2-EH24, SF2-EH28, SF2-EH32, SF2-EH36, SF2-EH48, SF2-EH56, and SF2-EH64 can be based on supply chain logistics and inventory levels without compromising functional performance or compliance requirements.

Compliance Status:

All substitute parts carry identical regulatory designations: RoHS Compliant, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8543.70.9860. No additional compliance verification is required when substituting the SF2-EH80 with any listed alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can any SF2-EH series part substitute for the SF2-EH80?

A: Yes. The SF2-EH12, SF2-EH16, SF2-EH20, SF2-EH24, SF2-EH28, SF2-EH32, SF2-EH36, SF2-EH48, SF2-EH56, and SF2-EH64 are all direct substitutes. Each maintains identical electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, and compliance certifications.

Q: What electrical parameters must remain constant for substitution?

A: The following parameters are identical across all substitute parts: reflective sensing method, 11.811" to 393.701" sensing distance, PNP output configuration, 20.4V to 27.6V supply voltage, 200 mA supply current, 15ms and 20ms response time options, and -10°C to 55°C operating temperature range.

Q: Are there any mechanical differences between the SF2-EH80 and substitute parts?

A: No. All parts feature identical mounting type (chassis mount), package configuration (module with wire leads), and physical form factor. Direct mechanical interchange is supported.

Q: Does the obsolete status of the SF2-EH80 affect substitute part compatibility?

A: No. The obsolete designation applies only to the SF2-EH80. All substitute parts are active production components with confirmed long-term availability. Functional and electrical compatibility is unaffected by the SF2-EH80's obsolete status.

Q: Are RoHS compliance requirements met by all substitute parts?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry RoHS Compliant certification with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, matching the SF2-EH80 specifications.

Q: Can I use any substitute part without circuit redesign?

A: Yes. Complete electrical equivalence across supply voltage, current requirements, output configuration, and response time specifications eliminates the need for circuit modifications.

Q: What is the difference between the various SF2-EH model numbers?

A: The numeric suffix in each part number (12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 48, 56, 64) represents internal design variations within the SF2-EH series. All variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications relevant to substitution compatibility.

Q: Are there any supply chain advantages to selecting one substitute over another?

A: Inventory levels vary among substitute parts. SF2-EH20 (1151 pcs), SF2-EH16 (1095 pcs), and SF2-EH24 (1045 pcs) show higher current stock levels. Selection can be optimized based on procurement lead time requirements.
