Omron E2C-ED02 Inductive Proximity Sensor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Omron E2C-ED02 is an inductive proximity sensor with a 2mm (0.079") sensing distance, designed for detecting metallic objects in compact cylindrical form factors. This sensor requires an external amplifier for signal processing and is housed in a nickel-plated brass body with IP67 ingress protection rating.

The E2C-ED02 is classified as obsolete. Locating active equivalent models ensures continued availability for maintenance, repair, and new system designs where this sensor specification remains applicable.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the E2C-ED02 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Sensor Type: Inductive detection technology
• Sensing Distance: 2mm (0.079") detection range
• Output Type: Amplifier-required signal output
• Shielding Configuration: Shielded design
• Package Form Factor: Cylindrical housing
• Ingress Protection: IP67 rating for sealed operation
• Operating Temperature Range: -10°C to 60°C compatibility
• Termination: Cable lead connections

The E2NC-ED02 is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute. This part maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility across all specified parameters while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2NC-ED02 is the direct substitute for the E2C-ED02. Both parts are manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety and maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factors. The E2NC-ED02 carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements and are suitable for applications requiring sealed inductive sensing in the 2mm detection range with external amplifier signal conditioning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E2NC-ED02 replace the E2C-ED02 in existing installations?
