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.
