Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the WS4-3D3130 must satisfy the following critical parameters to ensure functional equivalence:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Sensing method classification as through-beam optical sensor
• Sensing distance range of 0 to 4 meters (0 to 157.480 inches)
• Supply voltage compatibility within 10V to 30V range
• Output configuration supporting push-pull topology with NPN/PNP capability
• Red light source wavelength at 650nm
• Ingress protection rating of IP66 or IP67
• Response time of 500µs or faster
• Operating temperature range encompassing -40°C to 60°C
• Cable connection with connector interface

No manufacturer-recommended substitute parts have been provided for this component. Equivalent alternatives must be sourced from optical sensor manufacturers offering through-beam sensors with matching electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WS4-3D3130 is classified as obsolete. Component selection for replacement applications must prioritize through-beam optical sensors from active manufacturers that maintain the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitute components must provide identical sensing distance capability (0 to 4 meters), matching supply voltage range (10V to 30V), and equivalent output configuration (push-pull with NPN/PNP support).

Environmental specifications including IP66/IP67 ingress protection and operating temperature range (-40°C to 60°C) are mandatory for applications requiring equivalent environmental performance. The 500µs response time establishes the maximum acceptable response latency for substitute components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What defines a valid substitute for the WS4-3D3130?

A: A valid substitute must be a through-beam optical sensor with 0 to 4 meter sensing distance, 10V to 30V supply voltage, push-pull NPN/PNP output, red 650nm light source, IP66/IP67 rating, 500µs response time, and -40°C to 60°C operating temperature.

Q: Can diffuse-reflective sensors replace the WS4-3D3130?

A: No. The WS4-3D3130 is a through-beam sensor. Diffuse-reflective sensors operate on different optical principles and are not functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there cable length variations to consider?

A: The WS4-3D3130 features a 100mm cable length. Substitute components with different cable lengths may require mechanical integration modifications.

Q: What is the significance of the push-pull output configuration?

A: Push-pull output with NPN/PNP capability provides flexible signal interface compatibility. Substitute sensors must support this dual-output topology for direct replacement.

Q: How does the obsolete status affect component sourcing?

A: Obsolete status indicates the WS4-3D3130 is no longer manufactured. Substitute components must be sourced from active product lines of optical sensor manufacturers.
