Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the E2E-X2ME1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Sensor Type: Inductive
• Sensing Distance: 0.079" (2mm)
• Output Type: NPN-NO, 3-Wire
• Package / Case: Cylinder, Threaded - M8
• Voltage - Supply: Minimum 10V compatibility required
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Ingress Protection: IP67 minimum

The E2E-X2MC18 2M qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering enhanced specifications in response frequency and extended ingress protection rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2E-X2MC18 2M is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete E2E-X2ME1. Both components maintain identical sensing distance, output configuration, and mechanical form factor. The substitute offers improved response frequency (1kHz versus 800Hz) and extended ingress protection capability (IP69K in addition to IP67).

The voltage supply range of the E2E-X2MC18 2M (10V ~ 30V) is narrower than the original part (10V ~ 40V). System designs operating above 30V require verification of compatibility with existing power supply specifications.

Both parts carry RoHS Compliant certification and are manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety, ensuring regulatory alignment and supply chain continuity. The substitute part maintains Active product status, supporting long-term availability and technical support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E2E-X2MC18 2M directly replace the E2E-X2ME1 in existing installations?

A: Yes, the E2E-X2MC18 2M is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both sensors share identical sensing distance (2mm), output type (NPN-NO, 3-Wire), and M8 threaded cylindrical package. Cable lead termination and mechanical mounting are compatible.

Q: What is the difference in response frequency between these parts?

A: The E2E-X2ME1 operates at 800Hz response frequency, while the E2E-X2MC18 2M operates at 1kHz. The substitute provides faster response capability, which may improve detection performance in high-speed applications.

Q: Are there voltage supply limitations when substituting?

A: The original E2E-X2ME1 accepts 10V ~ 40V supply voltage. The substitute E2E-X2MC18 2M operates within 10V ~ 30V. Systems designed for operation above 30V require confirmation that the substitute meets power supply requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the IP69K rating on the substitute?

A: The E2E-X2MC18 2M provides both IP67 and IP69K ingress protection ratings, compared to IP67 only on the original part. IP69K offers enhanced protection against high-pressure water jets, suitable for washdown and high-humidity industrial environments.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the E2E-X2ME1 and E2E-X2MC18 2M are RoHS Compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Why is the original E2E-X2ME1 classified as Obsolete?

A: The E2E-X2ME1 has reached end-of-life status. The E2E-X2MC18 2M represents the current-generation equivalent within the E2E NEXT series, offering improved specifications while maintaining functional compatibility.
