Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2E-X2C112 2M serves as the direct equivalent for the obsolete E2E-X2E1 2M. Both sensors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The substitute part is manufactured by the same supplier and belongs to the E2E NEXT series, representing the current generation of this product line.

The E2E-X2C112 2M offers the following advantages:

Product Status: Active product status ensures long-term availability, technical support, and continued manufacturing commitment from Omron Automation and Safety.

Enhanced Environmental Rating: The substitute provides IP69K ingress protection in addition to IP67, offering superior sealing performance in high-pressure wash and submersion applications.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS Compliant status and identical moisture sensitivity levels, ensuring regulatory alignment across replacement scenarios.

Termination Difference: The main part features wire leads termination, while the substitute uses cable leads. This represents the only functional difference and requires evaluation based on installation requirements and connector compatibility within the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E2E-X2C112 2M directly replace the E2E-X2E1 2M in existing installations?

A: Yes, the E2E-X2C112 2M is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both sensors deliver identical output characteristics, response frequency, and operating parameters. The primary consideration is termination style: the original part uses wire leads while the substitute uses cable leads. Installation compatibility depends on the connector interface available in the target application.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: Active product status indicates that the E2E-X2C112 2M is currently manufactured and supported by Omron Automation and Safety. This ensures component availability for future orders, technical documentation updates, and manufacturer support. Obsolete products may face supply constraints and eventual discontinuation.

Q: Are there differences in ingress protection between these sensors?

A: The E2E-X2E1 2M provides IP67 protection. The E2E-X2C112 2M provides both IP67 and IP69K protection. IP69K represents enhanced sealing suitable for high-pressure wash applications. Both ratings satisfy standard industrial automation environmental requirements.

Q: Do these sensors require different power supply configurations?

A: No. Both sensors operate within the identical 10V ~ 30V supply voltage range and maintain the same 3-wire NPN-NO output configuration. No power supply modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the impact of the termination style difference?

A: The E2E-X2E1 2M uses wire leads for direct connection, while the E2E-X2C112 2M uses cable leads. Cable leads typically provide improved durability and flexibility in industrial environments. Substitution requires verification that the target application connector interface accommodates cable leads or that appropriate adapters are available.

Q: Are both sensors RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes. Both the E2E-X2E1 2M and E2E-X2C112 2M maintain RoHS Compliant status, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the sensing distance specification for these sensors?

A: Both sensors provide a 0.079" (2mm) sensing distance. This specification determines the maximum distance at which the sensor detects ferrous metal objects. No adjustment or recalibration is required when substituting between these models.
