- Proven Reliability: HOKUYO sensors are trusted in automotive, semiconductor, and food & beverage automation lines globally
- Water Resistance: H₂O-rated housing suitable for wash-down or humid industrial environments
- Reduced Downtime: Direct OEM replacement eliminates recalibration and re-wiring risks associated with third-party substitutes
Typical Applications
- Conveyor belt object detection and jam prevention
- Robotic arm end-of-travel sensing
- Precision assembly line part presence verification
- Semiconductor wafer handling equipment
- Packaging machinery position feedback
- AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) proximity sensing
System Compatibility
The PBS-03JN is engineered for integration within HOKUYO PBS-series sensor networks and is compatible with the following system environments:
- HOKUYO SS5YJ3 series control systems
- Standard 24 VDC industrial sensor buses
- PLC I/O modules from Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, and Allen-Bradley (verify input card specifications)
- Industrial Ethernet and fieldbus architectures (via appropriate signal converters)
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the PBS-03JN is the correct model for your application:
- Detection Range: Required sensing distance must fall within 2–12 mm
- Environment: Application involves moisture, wash-down, or high-humidity conditions → PBS-03JN H₂O rating is suitable
- System Code Match: Existing system references SS5YJ3-DUI00249 → direct OEM replacement confirmed
- Output Type: Verify NPN/PNP output requirement against your PLC input card specification
- Mounting: Confirm M-thread or bracket mounting compatibility with your machine frame
If your detection range exceeds 12 mm or your environment requires laser-based sensing, consider the HOKUYO URG-04LX-UG01 or contact our team for a custom selection recommendation.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use a KEYENCE PZ-G sensor as a direct replacement for the PBS-03JN?
A: Functionally similar in detection range, but connector pinout, mounting dimensions, and output signal levels may differ. Full mechanical and electrical verification is required before substitution.
Q: Is the PBS-03JN still in production?
A: HOKUYO continues to support the PBS series. Konmask.com maintains stock of both new and refurbished units — contact us for current availability.
Q: What is the difference between PBS-03JN and PBS-03JN-V?
A: The “-V” suffix typically denotes a voltage-output variant. Confirm your PLC input card accepts the corresponding signal type before ordering.
Q: Do you provide a certificate of conformance (CoC)?
A: Yes. CoC documentation is available upon request for all OEM units.
Q: Can Konmask.com source other HOKUYO models not listed on the website?
A: Yes. Contact our team with your part number and we will provide availability and pricing within 24 hours.
