Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete E2EM-X2C1 5M is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Sensor Type: Inductive
• Sensing Distance: 0.079" (2mm)
• Output Type: NPN-NO, 3-Wire
• Response Frequency: 1.5kHz
• Shielding: Shielded
• Material - Body: Stainless Steel
• Package / Case: Cylinder, Threaded - M8
• Ingress Protection: IP67 (minimum)
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Voltage - Supply: Substitute range must encompass or be compatible with original range
• Operating Temperature: Substitute range may be narrower than original
• Termination Style: May differ (Wire Leads vs. Cable Leads) based on application requirements
• Product Status: Active status preferred for long-term availability

The E2E-X2C18 5M satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and represents the active equivalent within the E2E NEXT series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2E-X2C18 5M is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete E2EM-X2C1 5M. Both components are RoHS Compliant and maintain identical core functional specifications across sensor type, sensing distance, output configuration, response frequency, shielding, body material, and mechanical package.

Selection Basis:

1. Product Status: The E2E-X2C18 5M holds active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing support, availability, and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete E2EM-X2C1 5M.

2. Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS Compliance certification, satisfying regulatory requirements for new installations and replacements.

3. Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align, enabling direct functional substitution in applications requiring inductive proximity sensing at 2mm detection distance with NPN-NO output.

4. Parameter Considerations: The substitute operates within a narrower voltage range (10V ~ 30V versus 10V ~ 40V) and reduced operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 70°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). Verify that application supply voltage and environmental conditions fall within the substitute's specified ranges.

5. Termination Difference: The substitute features cable leads rather than wire leads. Connector compatibility and installation methodology must be evaluated for the specific application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E2E-X2C18 5M directly replace the E2EM-X2C1 5M in existing installations?

A: The E2E-X2C18 5M provides functional equivalence for the core sensing operation. However, the termination style differs (cable leads versus wire leads), requiring assessment of connector compatibility and installation requirements specific to your application.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The E2EM-X2C1 5M is classified as obsolete. The E2E-X2C18 5M is the active equivalent within Omron's current product portfolio, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there voltage supply compatibility concerns?

A: The E2E-X2C18 5M operates at 10V ~ 30V, which is narrower than the original 10V ~ 40V range. Confirm that your application supply voltage does not exceed 30V. If your system requires operation above 30V, the substitute is not suitable.

Q: Does the operating temperature range affect substitution?

A: The E2E-X2C18 5M operates from -25°C ~ 70°C, compared to the original -40°C ~ 85°C. If your application requires operation below -25°C or above 70°C, verify that the substitute meets environmental specifications.

Q: Are the sensing characteristics identical?

A: Yes. Both sensors provide 0.079" (2mm) sensing distance, 1.5kHz response frequency, NPN-NO 3-wire output, and shielded stainless steel M8 threaded cylinder packaging.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection ratings?

A: The E2EM-X2C1 5M provides IP67 protection. The E2E-X2C18 5M provides both IP67 and IP69K ratings, offering enhanced protection in high-pressure wash environments.

Q: Are both parts RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes. Both the E2EM-X2C1 5M and E2E-X2C18 5M are RoHS Compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.
