Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the E2A-M12LS04-WS-B1 2M is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Functional Equivalence Criteria:

• Sensor Type: Inductive
• Sensing Distance: 0.157" (4mm)
• Output Type: PNP-NO, 3-Wire
• Response Frequency: 1kHz
• Shielding: Shielded
• Material - Body: Nickel-Plated Brass
• Termination Style: Cable Leads
• Ingress Protection: IP67, IP69K
• Indicator: LED
• Package / Case: Cylinder, Threaded - M12
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant

Voltage Supply Compatibility: The original part operates at 10V ~ 32V. Substitute parts must operate within this range or provide a compatible subset of this voltage window.

Operating Temperature Compatibility: The original part operates at -40°C ~ 70°C. Substitute parts must support the required operating temperature range for the application.

The E2E-X4B1DL12 2M meets all functional equivalence criteria and is classified as an active product, providing long-term availability and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2E-X4B1DL12 2M is the direct substitute for the obsolete E2A-M12LS04-WS-B1 2M. Both sensors are manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety and share identical functional specifications across all critical parameters including sensor type, sensing distance, output configuration, response frequency, shielding, body material, termination style, ingress protection rating, and indicator type.

The substitute part operates at 10V ~ 30V, which is a compatible subset of the original 10V ~ 32V range. The substitute part operates at -25°C ~ 70°C, which is a compatible subset of the original -40°C ~ 70°C range. Applications requiring operation below -25°C or above 30V must evaluate compatibility with the substitute part specifications.

The E2E-X4B1DL12 2M is classified as an active product with RoHS compliance and EAR99 ECCN designation, ensuring continued availability, regulatory compliance, and long-term support. The substitute part is packaged in a box format and carries Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited).
