Omron E2C-EM02-S Proximity Sensor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Omron E2C-EM02-S is a proximity sensor with a 0.079" (2mm) sensing distance, designed for industrial applications requiring IP67-rated protection in a cylinder, threaded M10 package. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent models essential for procurement and system continuity. The substitute part maintains functional compatibility through identical sensing distance, mechanical form factor, and environmental protection ratings while transitioning to an active product status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the E2C-EM02-S with the E2NC-EM02-S is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Sensing Distance: Both parts specify 0.079" (2mm)
• Mechanical Form Factor: Both use Cylinder, Threaded - M10 package
• Environmental Rating: Both maintain IP67 ingress protection
• Shielding Configuration: Both are shielded designs
• Body Material: Both use brass construction
• Termination: Both feature cable with connector
• Operating Temperature Range: Both operate within -10°C ~ 60°C

The E2NC-EM02-S represents the active product line successor within the Omron E2 series, providing direct functional replacement capability for the obsolete E2C-EM02-S model.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2NC-EM02-S is the direct substitute for the obsolete E2C-EM02-S based on product status transition within the Omron E2 series. Both parts share identical critical parameters: 0.079" (2mm) sensing distance, M10 threaded cylinder package, IP67 protection, shielded brass construction, and cable connector termination. The E2NC-EM02-S is the active product offering from Omron for this specification class and should be selected for new designs and replacement applications where the E2C-EM02-S is no longer available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E2NC-EM02-S directly replace the E2C-EM02-S in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical sensing distance (0.079" / 2mm), mechanical form factor (M10 threaded cylinder), environmental protection (IP67), and termination style (cable with connector). The E2NC-EM02-S is the active equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the E2C and E2NC series?

A: The E2NC series represents the current active product line from Omron. The E2C series is obsolete. Both series share the same mechanical and electrical specifications for this model variant.

Q: Does the absence of an LED indicator on the E2NC-EM02-S affect functionality?

A: The indicator is a visual feedback feature only and does not affect sensor operation or electrical performance. Selection should be based on application requirements for status indication.

Q: Are the M10 threaded connections identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical Cylinder, Threaded - M10 mechanical packaging, ensuring compatibility with existing mounting hardware and installation procedures.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The E2C-EM02-S has 1047 units in stock (obsolete status). The E2NC-EM02-S has 736 units in stock (active status). For new procurement, the E2NC-EM02-S is the recommended selection.
