Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The E2E-X2C28 2M qualifies as a substitute for the E2EM-X2C2 2M based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Matching Parameters:

• Sensor Type: Inductive
• Sensing Distance: 0.079" (2mm)
• Shielding: Shielded
• Material - Body: Stainless Steel
• Termination Style: Cable Leads
• Ingress Protection: IP67
• Indicator: LED
• Package / Case: Cylinder, Threaded - M8
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
• Response Frequency: 1.5kHz

Differing Parameters:

• Output Type: NPN-NC, 3-Wire (vs. 2-Wire in original)
• Voltage - Supply: 10V ~ 30V (vs. 10V ~ 40V in original)
• Operating Temperature: -25°C ~ 70°C (vs. -40°C ~ 85°C in original)
• Product Status: Active (vs. Obsolete in original)
• Series: E2E NEXT (vs. E2E in original)

The E2E-X2C28 2M maintains core sensing functionality and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status and extended ingress protection rating (IP69K).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2E-X2C28 2M is the designated substitute for the obsolete E2EM-X2C2 2M. Both components maintain RoHS compliance and share identical sensing distance, shielding characteristics, and mechanical form factor. The substitute part is currently in active production status with 1012 units in stock, compared to 736 units of the obsolete original.

Selection of the E2E-X2C28 2M requires verification that the application environment operates within the reduced voltage range (10V ~ 30V) and temperature range (-25°C ~ 70°C). The transition from 2-wire to 3-wire output configuration necessitates circuit-level evaluation to confirm compatibility with existing control logic and wiring infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between the E2EM-X2C2 2M and E2E-X2C28 2M?

A: The primary difference is the output configuration. The original part uses 2-wire NPN-NC output, while the substitute uses 3-wire NPN-NC output. Both maintain identical sensing distance (2mm), shielding, and M8 threaded cylinder package.

Q: Can the E2E-X2C28 2M be used in applications requiring the full 10V ~ 40V supply voltage range?

A: No. The E2E-X2C28 2M operates within 10V ~ 30V. Applications requiring supply voltages above 30V are not compatible with this substitute.

Q: Are there temperature range limitations when substituting the E2E-X2C28 2M?

A: Yes. The substitute operates within -25°C ~ 70°C, compared to the original -40°C ~ 85°C range. Applications requiring operation below -25°C or above 70°C are not suitable for this substitute.

Q: Does the 3-wire output of the E2E-X2C28 2M affect mechanical installation?

A: No. Both parts use identical M8 threaded cylinder packages and cable lead termination. Mechanical installation is unchanged. Electrical wiring configuration requires modification to accommodate the additional wire.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The E2EM-X2C2 2M (obsolete) has 736 units in stock. The E2E-X2C28 2M (active) has 1012 units in stock.
