Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TR4-SFM01C is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Termination Style: Cable with Connector compatibility
• Voltage Supply Range: Operational compatibility within or overlapping the 20.4V to 26.4V specification
• Operating Temperature Range: Functional performance across the required thermal envelope
• Connector Type: M12 interface compatibility
• Export Classification: ECCN alignment for regulatory compliance

The identified substitute TR4-SFM01CB shares the same manufacturer (SICK, Inc.), series designation (TR4), connector interface (M12), and export classification (EAR99), establishing a direct substitution pathway based on these core electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TR4-SFM01CB qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following engineering criteria:

• Active Product Status: The substitute maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete TR4-SFM01C.
• Voltage Compatibility: The 24VDC supply specification of the TR4-SFM01CB falls within the operational envelope of the original 20.4V to 26.4V range, ensuring electrical compatibility.
• Thermal Performance: The substitute's operating temperature range of -25°C to 70°C exceeds the original specification of -10°C to 55°C, providing enhanced thermal margin.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both components share identical ECCN classification (EAR99). The substitute carries CE and cULus certifications with ROHS3 compliance, meeting contemporary regulatory requirements.
• Connector Interface: M12 cable connector compatibility is maintained, supporting direct mechanical integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TR4-SFM01CB directly replace the TR4-SFM01C in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components utilize M12 cable connector termination, operate within compatible voltage ranges (24VDC falls within the 20.4V–26.4V specification), and share the same manufacturer and series designation. The substitute's expanded operating temperature range (-25°C to 70°C) provides additional thermal margin beyond the original specification.

Q: What are the key differences between these components?

A: The TR4-SFM01CB is an active product with enhanced specifications including IP67/IP69K ingress protection, ROHS3 compliance, and CE/cULus certifications. The original TR4-SFM01C is classified as obsolete. Both maintain EAR99 export classification and M12 connector compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for substitution?

A: The TR4-SFM01C packaging information is not specified in available documentation. The TR4-SFM01CB is supplied in box packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your specific application before procurement.

Q: Does the substitute maintain the same functional characteristics?

A: Substitution eligibility is based on termination style, voltage supply compatibility, operating temperature range, connector interface, and export classification. Functional performance characteristics specific to sensor type and actuation method should be validated against application requirements.

Q: What certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The TR4-SFM01CB carries CE and cULus approvals and is ROHS3 compliant. Both components are classified as EAR99 for export purposes.
