Compatibility and replacement
Order with the complete Panasonic part number EQ-501; suffixes such as -P (PNP output), -C5 (5 m cable), -J (connector) or -R (rear sensing) change the version, so check the label of the old part.
If the label of the old part is worn or the model is discontinued, send us a photo and we will confirm the current Panasonic equivalent before quoting.
What to check first
- Output type (relay or transistor)
- Connection type
- Mounting
