E2F-X1R5Y1 2M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Omron E2F-X1R5Y1 2M is an inductive proximity sensor with a 1.5mm sensing distance, designed for cylindrical M8 threaded mounting applications. This sensor operates across a wide voltage range (20 VAC ~ 264 VAC) and provides normally open, 2-wire output with LED indication. The product is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent models to maintain system functionality and ensure continued availability for replacement and new installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the E2F-X1R5Y1 2M is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Functional Parameters:

• Sensor Type: Inductive
• Output Type: NO, 2-Wire
• Response Frequency: 25Hz
• Shielding: Shielded
• Voltage Supply Range: 20 VAC ~ 264 VAC
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C ~ 70°C
• Ingress Protection: IP68
• Termination Style: Cable Leads

Mechanical Parameters:

• Material - Body: Polyarylate Resin
• Package / Case: Cylinder, Threaded configuration

The E2F-X2Y1 2M qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. While the sensing distance increases from 1.5mm to 2mm and the package transitions from M8 to M12 threaded mounting, the substitute maintains identical electrical specifications, response characteristics, environmental ratings, and termination methodology. The substitute is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2F-X2Y1 2M is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete E2F-X1R5Y1 2M. Selection of this substitute is appropriate when:

Product Status Compliance: The original part is classified as obsolete. The substitute maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability, technical support, and continued manufacturing.

Electrical Compatibility: Both sensors operate identically across the 20 VAC ~ 264 VAC supply range with NO, 2-Wire output configuration and 25Hz response frequency. Existing electrical integration and control logic remain unchanged.

Environmental Specifications: The substitute maintains identical IP68 ingress protection, operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 70°C), and material composition (Polyarylate Resin body), ensuring equivalent environmental performance.

Mechanical Integration: The substitute requires M12 threaded mounting in place of M8. Installation geometry and mounting hardware must be evaluated for the specific application. The increased sensing distance (2mm versus 1.5mm) may affect detection performance in applications with tight clearance tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E2F-X2Y1 2M directly replace the E2F-X1R5Y1 2M without modification?

A: Electrical and functional replacement is direct. Mechanical integration requires verification of M12 threaded mounting compatibility in the installation location. The increased 2mm sensing distance must be evaluated against application requirements.

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

A: The sensing distance increases from 1.5mm to 2mm, and the package transitions from M8 to M12 threaded cylinder mounting. All electrical specifications, output characteristics, and environmental ratings remain identical.

Q: Why is the original E2F-X1R5Y1 2M classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The E2F-X2Y1 2M represents the active equivalent within the E2F series, providing continued functionality with enhanced availability.

Q: Are the cable lead terminations identical between both sensors?

A: Both sensors use cable lead termination style. Verification of cable gauge, length, and connector specifications is required for the specific application.

Q: Does the increased sensing distance of the substitute affect detection accuracy?

A: The substitute maintains 25Hz response frequency and shielded configuration. The 2mm sensing distance is suitable for applications where target detection occurs within this range. Applications requiring detection at exactly 1.5mm or less must evaluate the increased range against specific positioning requirements.

Q: What mounting considerations apply to the M12 threaded package?

A: The M12 threaded cylinder requires compatible mounting hardware and installation space. Existing M8 mounting fixtures are not compatible with M12 sensors and must be replaced or adapted.

Q: Are both sensors rated for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes, both sensors operate across -25°C ~ 70°C and maintain identical IP68 environmental protection.
