Where in the world are you? It helps to know what vendors you would have access to.

A parametric search at Digikey did not come up with an exact replacement. Can you post a schematic of your circuit, to give us an idea of which parameters might be critical and which are not.

Wayne,

Remove your email address. It's not wise to post emails in forums. Spybots will find it and spam...spam...spam you. Also, the whole idea of forums is to share questions and answer for now...and for others in the future. If your company can supply the part the OP needs, let us all know. Or, are you on a fishing expedition?

Bad link...too many broken link removed

It looks like almost any IR photo transistor would work. The only thing that I see unique about the LTR4206E is the narrow view angle...20°. With one with a wider view angle, just make a small paper tube over it to shield it from the LED.
