replacement photo sensor

Technical Electrical

Recently, our team misplaced one of our photo sensors, leaving us with only 2. We attempted to find a place to purchase a new one, but the only place with the EXACT same part (42EF-P2MPB-A2) was ebay. Since we are not allowed to purchase items from ebay due to the way our money is handled, is there any other source to buy a new sensor/ what could be an equal replacement? The website that FIRST stated would sell replacement parts did not actually sell the part at all :frowning:

Or you can still do line following with 2 sensors. You can even do it with one (edge following).

Here is a link to the how to purchase page on Rockwell Automation’s web site:

Hope this helps,
