IMB26652C Inductive Proximity Sensor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IMB26652C is an inductive proximity sensor manufactured by Crouzet with a 2mm (0.079") sensing distance and cable lead termination. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The sensor operates as a non-contact detection device suitable for industrial automation applications requiring reliable metal object detection at short range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the IMB26652C must satisfy the following critical parameters to ensure functional equivalence:

• Sensor Type: Inductive (non-contact metal detection)
• Sensing Distance: 0.079" (2mm) nominal range
• Termination Style: Cable Leads for direct integration into existing harnesses
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 or equivalent for unlimited shelf life storage

The E2B-S08KN02-WP-C2 2M from Omron Automation and Safety meets these core substitution criteria. Both sensors operate on the same detection principle with identical sensing distance specifications and cable lead connectivity, enabling direct functional replacement in applications where the IMB26652C is no longer available.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2B-S08KN02-WP-C2 2M serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete IMB26652C based on matching core functional parameters: identical inductive sensor type, 2mm sensing distance, and cable lead termination. The substitute part carries active product status with current manufacturing support and inventory availability (663 pcs in stock versus 1053 pcs for the obsolete part).

Design teams should note the RoHS compliance difference: the IMB26652C is RoHS Compliant while the E2B-S08KN02-WP-C2 2M is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction requires evaluation against applicable regulatory requirements for the target application and end market.

Both components share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8543.70.9860) classifications, confirming equivalent trade and export status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E2B-S08KN02-WP-C2 2M directly replace the IMB26652C in existing applications?

A: Yes, for applications where the core functional requirements are inductive sensing at 2mm distance with cable lead connectivity. The substitute part provides these identical specifications. However, verify that the NPN-NC 3-Wire output configuration and 10V ~ 30V supply voltage range are compatible with your existing circuit design, as these specifications were not documented for the original part.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The IMB26652C is RoHS Compliant while the substitute E2B-S08KN02-WP-C2 2M is RoHS non-compliant. If your application or end market requires RoHS compliance (such as EU market distribution), this difference must be addressed through design review or alternative part selection.

Q: Are the mechanical packages compatible?

A: The IMB26652C package specifications are not documented in the available data. The E2B-S08KN02-WP-C2 2M uses a Cylinder, Threaded - M8 package. Verify mechanical fit and mounting compatibility with your application before implementation.

Q: What additional features does the substitute part provide?

A: The E2B-S08KN02-WP-C2 2M includes documented specifications for response frequency (1kHz), operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 70°C), ingress protection (IP67), LED indicator, and stainless steel body material. These specifications were not provided for the original IMB26652C and may offer enhanced functionality for specific applications.

Q: How do the inventory levels compare?

A: The obsolete IMB26652C has 1053 pcs in stock, while the active substitute E2B-S08KN02-WP-C2 2M has 663 pcs available. The substitute part's active status ensures continued availability for future procurement, whereas the original part's obsolete classification indicates no future manufacturing.
