Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete E2C-EV05-F is based on the following criteria derived from available technical parameters:

Primary Substitution Basis:

• Manufacturer alignment: Omron Automation and Safety
• Functional category: Inductive proximity sensor
• Product status transition: Obsolete to Active production status
• Sensor type classification: Inductive

Determining Parameters for Substitution Eligibility:

• Sensor Type: Inductive
• Sensing Distance: 0.197" (5mm)
• Ingress Protection Rating: IP67
• Termination Style: Connector
• Operating Temperature Range: -10°C ~ 60°C
• Material - Body: Zinc Die-Cast
• Shielding: Shielded
• Package / Case: Module

The E2NC-EV05-F is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute, maintaining functional equivalence through identical sensing distance, ingress protection, termination methodology, and environmental operating parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Production: The E2NC-EV05-F is the designated active production substitute for the obsolete E2C-EV05-F. This part maintains manufacturer continuity within the Omron Automation and Safety product line and carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and ongoing technical support.

For Existing Inventory Management: The E2C-EV05-F remains available in original stock (685 units). However, transition to the E2NC-EV05-F is recommended for all new procurement to align with current production lifecycles and eliminate future obsolescence risk.

Compatibility Basis: Both parts function as inductive proximity sensors with identical sensing distance (0.197" / 5mm), IP67 environmental protection, connector-based termination, and module packaging. The E2NC series represents the current generation equivalent within Omron's sensor product portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the E2C-EV05-F classified as obsolete? A: The E2C-EV05-F has reached end-of-life status within Omron's product lifecycle management. The E2NC-EV05-F represents the active production successor in the inductive proximity sensor line.
