IMN23188M12 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IMN23188M12 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-NC output through a 3-wire connector interface. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for system maintenance and component procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E2B-M18KS08-M1-C2 directly replace the IMN23188M12 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both sensors share identical electrical parameters (10V ~ 30V supply, NPN-NC 3-wire output), mechanical form factor (M18 threaded cylinder), and environmental ratings (IP67, -25°C ~ 70°C). The connector termination style is consistent between both parts.

Q: What is the response frequency difference between these sensors?

A: The IMN23188M12 does not specify a response frequency parameter. The E2B-M18KS08-M1-C2 specifies 500Hz response frequency. This parameter is not a substitution criterion for this product category.

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

A: The IMN23188M12 is listed with standard packaging designation. The E2B-M18KS08-M1-C2 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are connector-terminated M18 cylindrical sensors with identical mechanical interfaces.

Q: Why is the IMN23188M12 classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer discontinuation. The E2B-M18KS08-M1-C2 maintains active status and provides equivalent functionality for new designs and replacement applications.
