IMN22188P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IMN22188P is an inductive proximity sensor manufactured by Crouzet, designed for non-contact detection applications with an 8mm sensing distance. This cylindrical M18-threaded sensor operates in the 10V to 30V supply range and provides NPN-NO output through a 3-wire connector configuration. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for system maintenance and new design implementations. The Omron E2B-M18KS08-M1-C1 serves as a direct functional equivalent with active product status and identical core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The E2B-M18KS08-M1-C1 qualifies as a direct substitute for the IMN22188P based on equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following parameters match:

• Sensor Type: Inductive
• Sensing Distance: 0.315" (8mm)
• Output Type: NPN-NO, 3-Wire
• Shielding: Shielded
• Material - Body: Nickel-Plated Brass
• Voltage - Supply: 10V ~ 30V
• Termination Style: Connector
• Operating Temperature: -25°C ~ 70°C
• Ingress Protection: IP67
• Indicator: LED
• Package / Case: Cylinder, Threaded - M18

The substitute part maintains full compatibility with existing circuit designs and mechanical mounting configurations specified for the original component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2B-M18KS08-M1-C1 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete IMN22188P. The substitute part maintains active product status with Omron Automation and Safety, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both components satisfy RoHS compliance requirements, with the substitute meeting the more recent ROHS3 standard. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical across all critical parameters, enabling direct replacement without circuit redesign or mechanical modification. The substitute part is available in bulk packaging with confirmed inventory stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E2B-M18KS08-M1-C1 replace the IMN22188P in existing installations?

A: Yes. The substitute part matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including sensing distance, output type, supply voltage range, operating temperature, ingress protection rating, and M18 threaded mounting configuration. Direct replacement is possible without modification to the host system.

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

A: The IMN22188P does not specify a response frequency parameter. The E2B-M18KS08-M1-C1 specifies 500Hz response frequency. This additional specification does not affect substitution compatibility and indicates the sensor's switching speed capability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The IMN22188P is listed with unspecified packaging, while the E2B-M18KS08-M1-C1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both components use identical M18 threaded cylinder case configuration for mechanical mounting.

Q: Do both parts meet environmental compliance standards?

A: Yes. The IMN22188P is RoHS Compliant. The E2B-M18KS08-M1-C1 meets the more stringent ROHS3 Compliant standard and is REACH Unaffected. Both components are rated IP67 for ingress protection and operate across the -25°C to 70°C temperature range.

Q: Why is the IMN22188P classified as obsolete?

A: The IMN22188P is no longer in active production. The E2B-M18KS08-M1-C1 represents the current active equivalent from Omron, providing continued access to functionally identical inductive proximity sensor technology with M18 threaded mounting and 8mm sensing distance.
