Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the E2E-X2ME2 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Sensor Type: Inductive
• Sensing Distance: 0.079" (2mm)
• Output Type: NPN-NC, 3-Wire
• Package / Case: Cylinder, Threaded - M8
• Material - Body: Stainless Steel
• Termination Style: Cable Leads
• Ingress Protection: IP67 (minimum)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• RoHS Compliance: Required

The E2E-X2MC28 2M qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both sensors share identical sensing distance, output configuration, mechanical form factor, material composition, and environmental ratings. The substitute part belongs to the E2E NEXT series, representing an active product line evolution from the obsolete E2E series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2E-X2MC28 2M is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete E2E-X2ME2. Both components maintain identical electrical output characteristics, mechanical form factor, and environmental protection ratings. The substitute part is manufactured by Omron Automation and Safety and carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and support.

The E2E-X2MC28 2M operates within a reduced supply voltage range (10V ~ 30V) compared to the original part (10V ~ 40V). Applications requiring supply voltages above 30V must verify compatibility with system design parameters. The substitute sensor provides enhanced response frequency (1kHz versus 800Hz) and extended ingress protection options (IP67 and IP69K), representing functional improvements over the original specification.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications, supporting regulatory and procurement continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E2E-X2MC28 2M directly replace the E2E-X2ME2 in existing installations?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the 10V ~ 30V supply voltage range. The substitute maintains identical sensing distance, output type, mechanical package, and environmental ratings. Verify that your system supply voltage does not exceed 30V DC.

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

A: The E2E-X2MC28 2M represents the current-generation successor to the obsolete E2E-X2ME2. The substitute operates at a reduced maximum supply voltage (30V versus 40V) and provides higher response frequency (1kHz versus 800Hz). Both sensors are functionally equivalent for standard inductive proximity sensing applications.

Q: Are the mechanical packages identical?

A: Yes. Both sensors use a Cylinder, Threaded M8 package with stainless steel construction and cable lead termination. No mechanical modifications are required for installation.

Q: Does the substitute part meet the same environmental specifications?

A: Yes. Both sensors operate across -40°C to 85°C and maintain IP67 ingress protection. The E2E-X2MC28 2M additionally supports IP69K rating, providing enhanced protection in high-pressure wash environments.

Q: What certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The E2E-X2MC28 2M is RoHS Compliant and carries the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8543.70.9860) classifications as the original part, ensuring regulatory and procurement compatibility.
