Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the E2EV-X5B2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Sensor Type: Inductive (non-contact detection principle)
• Sensing Distance: 0.197" (5mm) (detection range specification)
• Output Type: PNP-NC, 3-Wire (electrical interface and logic configuration)
• Voltage Supply Range: 10V ~ 30V (power compatibility)
• Response Frequency: 70Hz (switching speed)
• Shielding: Shielded (electromagnetic interference rejection)
• Package / Case: Cylinder, Threaded - M18 (mechanical form factor and mounting)
• Termination Style: Cable Leads (connection method)

The E2V-X5B2 2M substitute part maintains equivalence across all critical parameters while offering an Active product status and extended operating temperature range.
