  • Eaton’s product offers increased oxygen sensing accuracy and an extended warranty.
  • Eaton’s oxygen sensor for commercial single-aisle aircraft serves as a form, fit and functional replacement for the OEM’s oxygen sensor. No modifications to aircraft are required.

CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 19, 2024-- Intelligent power management company Eaton’s nitrogen generation system oxygen sensor for the Boeing 737 NG / 737 MAX has been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration, providing a timely and cost-effective OEM replacement solution that will help customers meet new regulatory requirements. Eaton’s oxygen sensor is a form, fit and functional replacement for the OEM Boeing 737 NG / 737 MAX sensor.

In response to the market need for a more reliable oxygen sensor, Eaton’s replacement is designed from its proven high-performance commercial and military oxygen sensor that provides cost savings through increased reliability and time on wing. Additionally, the data logging feature enables operators to troubleshoot the nitrogen generation system (NGS) planeside without dependence on the OEM.

“We responded to the needs of our global customers by delivering a seamless, turnkey solution that helps them adhere to time-sensitive regulatory requirements,” said Matt Norman, vice president, Aftermarket and Commercial Services, for Eaton’s Aerospace Group. “Most importantly, we enhanced the product technology in ways that elevate aircraft performance and reliability while reducing maintenance costs.”

Replacement of the OEM’s oxygen sensor with Eaton’s oxygen sensor complies with AWL No. 47-AWL-09 & 10; AD 2021-11-24 & 2023-05-06. The replacement Boeing 737 NG / 737 MAX oxygen sensor (part number 3270108-0101) complements Eaton’s existing highly reliable Boeing 737 NG / 737 MAX air separation module replacement for the same platform. When paired together, the products significantly maximize NGS reliability and cost savings. As the global leader in fuel inerting, Eaton’s inerting products have amassed 52 million flight hours on over 5,000 commercial and military aircraft.
