Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the E2E-X10ME1 5M is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Sensor Type: Inductive detection technology
• Sensing Distance: 10mm (0.394")
• Output Configuration: NPN-NO, 3-Wire
• Package / Case: Cylinder, Threaded - M18
• Termination Style: Cable Leads
• Ingress Protection: IP67 minimum
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Material - Body: Nickel-Plated Brass

The E2E-X10MC118 5M meets all these critical parameters and is classified as an Active product within the E2E NEXT series, providing a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete E2E-X10ME1 5M.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2E-X10MC118 5M is the designated equivalent substitute for the obsolete E2E-X10ME1 5M. Both components share identical mechanical form factors (M18 threaded cylinder), electrical output configurations (NPN-NO, 3-Wire), and sensing specifications (10mm inductive detection). The substitute part is manufactured by the same supplier and maintains full RoHS compliance.

The E2E-X10MC118 5M is an Active product, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The substitute demonstrates enhanced performance characteristics, including doubled response frequency (400Hz versus 200Hz) and extended ingress protection rating (IP67 and IP69K). The voltage supply range of the substitute (10V ~ 30V) is contained within the original part's range (10V ~ 40V), ensuring compatibility in standard industrial control applications operating within 10V to 30V supply specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E2E-X10MC118 5M directly replace the E2E-X10ME1 5M in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both sensors share identical mechanical mounting (M18 threaded cylinder), electrical output type (NPN-NO, 3-Wire), sensing distance (10mm), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). Pin configuration and cable lead termination are equivalent.

Q: What are the differences between these two sensors?

A: The E2E-X10MC118 5M operates at 400Hz response frequency compared to 200Hz for the E2E-X10ME1 5M, providing faster detection response. The substitute offers dual ingress protection ratings (IP67 and IP69K) versus IP67 only. The substitute's voltage supply range is 10V ~ 30V, while the original accepts 10V ~ 40V. For applications operating within 10V to 30V, the substitute is fully compatible.
