Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the E2E-X1R5E2 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Sensor Type: Inductive
• Sensing Distance: 0.059" (1.5mm)
• Output Type: NPN-NC, 3-Wire
• Response Frequency: 2kHz
• Shielding: Shielded
• Material - Body: Stainless Steel
• Termination Style: Cable Leads
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Ingress Protection: IP67 (minimum)
• Package / Case: Cylinder, Threaded - M8
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant

The E2E-X1R5C28 2M meets all these core functional and mechanical requirements, with the following considerations: the supply voltage range is narrower (10V ~ 30V versus 10V ~ 40V), and the substitute offers enhanced ingress protection (IP67, IP69K). Both sensors share the same base product number (E2E-X1) and series lineage, confirming functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2E-X1R5C28 2M is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete E2E-X1R5E2. Both components are RoHS Compliant and manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety, ensuring regulatory alignment and supply chain continuity.

The E2E-X1R5C28 2M is classified as Active product status, providing access to ongoing manufacturer support, documentation, and availability. The substitute maintains functional equivalence across all critical detection and output parameters.

The supply voltage range of the E2E-X1R5C28 2M (10V ~ 30V) is narrower than the original part (10V ~ 40V). System designs operating above 30V require verification of power supply specifications before substitution.

The E2E-X1R5C28 2M offers enhanced ingress protection certification (IP67, IP69K) compared to the original part (IP67), providing additional environmental sealing capability for high-pressure wash and submersion applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E2E-X1R5C28 2M directly replace the E2E-X1R5E2 in existing installations?

A: Yes, the E2E-X1R5C28 2M is functionally equivalent for sensing distance, output type, response frequency, operating temperature, and mechanical packaging. Verify that system supply voltage does not exceed 30V DC.

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

A: The E2E-X1R5E2 supports supply voltage up to 40V, while the E2E-X1R5C28 2M operates within 10V ~ 30V. The substitute offers enhanced ingress protection (IP69K in addition to IP67).

Q: Are the M8 threaded connectors identical between these parts?

A: Both sensors use M8 threaded cylindrical packaging. Mechanical installation compatibility is confirmed.

Q: Does the narrower voltage range of the E2E-X1R5C28 2M affect detection performance?

A: Detection performance and response characteristics remain identical within the 10V ~ 30V operating range. Systems designed for the original part's full 10V ~ 40V range require supply voltage adjustment.

Q: Are both sensors RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes, both the E2E-X1R5E2 and E2E-X1R5C28 2M are RoHS Compliant.

Q: What is the significance of the E2E-X1 base product number?

A: The shared base product number indicates both sensors belong to the same product family and series lineage, confirming design compatibility and functional equivalence.
