E2E-X1R5F1 Inductive Proximity Sensor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E2E-X1R5F1 is an inductive proximity sensor manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety, designed for non-contact detection applications with a 1.5mm sensing distance. This sensor operates as a PNP normally-open (NO) switch with 3-wire configuration and is housed in a shielded M8 cylindrical threaded package. The product is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for system maintenance and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the E2E-X1R5F1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Sensor Type: Inductive
• Sensing Distance: 0.059" (1.5mm)
• Output Type: PNP-NO, 3-Wire
• Response Frequency: 2kHz
• Shielding: Shielded
• Material - Body: Stainless Steel
• Termination Style: Cable Leads
• Package / Case: Cylinder, Threaded - M8
• Ingress Protection: IP67 minimum
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Supply Voltage Compatibility: Overlapping range

The E2E-X1R5B1D8 2M qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both sensors share the same base product number (E2E-X1), identical sensing distance, output configuration, response frequency, shielding, body material, termination style, and M8 package specification. The substitute part represents an active product within the E2E NEXT series, providing continued availability and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2E-X1R5B1D8 2M is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete E2E-X1R5F1. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory consistency. The substitute part is an active product within the E2E NEXT series, providing assured long-term availability and manufacturer support.

The supply voltage range of the substitute (10V ~ 30V) is narrower than the original part (10V ~ 40V). Applications operating above 30V require verification that system voltage remains within the substitute's specified range. The substitute offers enhanced ingress protection (IP67 and IP69K) compared to the original specification (IP67 only), providing additional environmental sealing capability without compromising any functional parameters.

Both sensors are housed in identical M8 threaded cylindrical packages with cable lead termination, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in existing mounting configurations. The substitute part maintains the same sensing distance, output type, response frequency, and operating temperature range as the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E2E-X1R5B1D8 2M be used as a direct replacement for the E2E-X1R5F1?

A: Yes. Both sensors share identical sensing distance (1.5mm), output configuration (PNP-NO, 3-Wire), response frequency (2kHz), shielding, body material (stainless steel), M8 package specification, and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). The substitute is the manufacturer-recommended alternative for the obsolete original part.

Q: What is the difference in supply voltage specifications?

A: The E2E-X1R5F1 operates at 10V ~ 40V, while the E2E-X1R5B1D8 2M operates at 10V ~ 30V. If your application requires operation above 30V, the substitute part is not suitable. For applications within the 10V ~ 30V range, both parts are electrically compatible.

Q: Are the M8 packages identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both sensors use a cylinder, threaded M8 package with cable lead termination. They are mechanically interchangeable in existing mounting configurations without modification.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection ratings?

A: The E2E-X1R5F1 is rated IP67. The E2E-X1R5B1D8 2M is rated IP67 and IP69K. The substitute provides equal or superior environmental sealing. This difference does not affect compatibility in applications requiring IP67 protection.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the E2E-X1R5F1 and E2E-X1R5B1D8 2M are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8543.70.9860) classifications.

Q: Why is the original part listed as obsolete?

A: The E2E-X1R5F1 has been discontinued by Omron Automation and Safety. The E2E-X1R5B1D8 2M is the active product replacement within the E2E NEXT series, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.
