• Output Type: Both provide PNP-NC, 3-Wire configuration
• Response Frequency: Both support 100Hz operation
• Package / Case: Both use Cylinder, Threaded - M30 form factor
• Material - Body: Both feature Nickel-Plated Brass construction
• Termination Style: Both use connector termination
• Operating Temperature Range: Both operate across -40°C ~ 85°C
• Ingress Protection: Both meet IP67 minimum specification

The E2E-X18MB230-M1 represents an active product from the E2E NEXT series, providing enhanced compliance and availability compared to the obsolete E2E-X18MF2-M1.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2E-X18MB230-M1 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete E2E-X18MF2-M1. Selection is based on the following factors:

Product Status: The E2E-X18MB230-M1 is an active product with current manufacturing and supply chain support, whereas the E2E-X18MF2-M1 is obsolete and subject to availability constraints.

Compliance: The E2E-X18MB230-M1 meets ROHS3 compliance and is REACH Affected, representing current regulatory standards. The E2E-X18MF2-M1 meets RoHS Compliant status.

Functional Equivalence: Both sensors share identical core electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: inductive sensing at 18mm, PNP-NC output, 100Hz response frequency, M30 threaded cylinder package, and -40°C ~ 85°C operating range.

Voltage Supply Consideration: The E2E-X18MB230-M1 operates within 10V ~ 30V, which is a subset of the E2E-X18MF2-M1 range (10V ~ 40V). Applications requiring supply voltages above 30V must retain the original part or identify alternative solutions.

Enhanced Protection: The E2E-X18MB230-M1 provides IP69K in addition to IP67, offering superior ingress protection for high-pressure wash environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E2E-X18MB230-M1 directly replace the E2E-X18MF2-M1 in existing installations?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the 10V ~ 30V supply range. Both sensors provide identical PNP-NC output configuration, 18mm sensing distance, M30 threaded mounting, and -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature. Connector termination and LED indicators are identical. Verify your system supply voltage does not exceed 30V before substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two sensors?

A: The E2E-X18MB230-M1 is the active successor from the E2E NEXT series, offering ROHS3 compliance and enhanced IP69K protection. The E2E-X18MF2-M1 is obsolete. The voltage supply range differs: the substitute operates at 10V ~ 30V versus the original 10V ~ 40V.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and mounting identical?

A: Yes. Both sensors use the Cylinder, Threaded - M30 package with Nickel-Plated Brass construction and connector termination. Mechanical installation is identical.

Q: Does the E2E-X18MB230-M1 maintain the same sensing distance?

A: Yes. Both sensors operate at 0.709" (18mm) sensing distance with 100Hz response frequency and unshielded configuration.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The E2E-X18MB230-M1 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected. It maintains EAR99 ECCN classification and 8543.70.9860 HTSUS code, consistent with the original part.
