Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the TL-T5MF1 10M is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant or within acceptable operational ranges:

• Sensor Type: Inductive (detection principle must be identical)
• Sensing Distance: 0.197" (5mm) (detection range must match application requirements)
• Output Type: PNP-NO, 3-Wire (electrical interface and signal logic must be compatible)
• Voltage - Supply: 10V ~ 30V (power supply compatibility)
• Ingress Protection: IP67 (environmental sealing requirement)
• Operating Temperature: -25°C ~ 70°C (thermal operating envelope)
• Termination Style: Cable Leads (physical connection method)
• Material - Body: Plastic (mechanical housing compatibility)
• Package / Case: Module (form factor)

The substitute part TL-W5MB1 maintains all critical parameters within these specifications, with the exception of response frequency, which is a performance characteristic that does not affect functional substitution in standard applications.
