2JCIE-BU01 Replacement Options

Note: Please review the datasheets to ensure any alternative will work for your application.

The 2JCIE (DigiKey# Z11673-ND) multifunction sensor from Omron was recently put into Last Time Buy status, meaning it will soon be unavailable. Unfortunately, they have no designated replacement so customers will need to hunt for alternates once it inevitably goes out of production. While we don’t have anything that I would consider a direct replacement, there are some options in our multifunction sensors with similar features (most notably the USB output).

In particular 5090-601014-ND from Dracal Technologies and 813-1056-ND from DLP Design Inc. looked like good options, though they do lack some of the sensing capabilities of the original.
