IMN35188P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IMN35188P 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 PNP normally-open output through a 3-wire connector interface. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete IMN35188P is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Sensor Type: Inductive technology for ferrous metal detection
• Sensing Distance: 0.315" (8mm) detection range
• Output Configuration: PNP normally-open 3-wire output
• Supply Voltage: 10V to 30V operating range
• Physical Form Factor: M18 cylindrical threaded housing
• Environmental Rating: IP67 ingress protection
• Termination: Connector-based interface
• Body Material: Nickel-plated brass construction

The IME18-08NPSZC0S from SICK, Inc. meets all these substitution criteria and is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IME18-08NPSZC0S is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete IMN35188P. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Product Status: The IME18-08NPSZC0S maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring availability and ongoing technical support
• Compliance: Both components meet RoHS requirements; the substitute carries ROHS3 certification with REACH unaffected status
• Electrical Compatibility: Identical supply voltage range (10V ~ 30V), output configuration (PNP-NO 3-wire), and sensing distance (8mm)
• Mechanical Compatibility: Matching M18 cylindrical threaded form factor and connector termination enable direct installation in existing mounting hardware
• Environmental Performance: Both sensors provide IP67 ingress protection with equivalent operating temperature ranges (-25°C to 70°C for original; -25°C to 75°C for substitute, representing an extended upper limit)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IME18-08NPSZC0S be directly installed in place of the IMN35188P?

A: Yes. Both sensors share identical M18 cylindrical threaded form factors, connector termination styles, and electrical output configurations (PNP-NO 3-wire). No mechanical or electrical modifications are required for installation.

Q: Are there differences in operating temperature ranges?

A: The IME18-08NPSZC0S operates from -25°C to 75°C, compared to the IMN35188P range of -25°C to 70°C. The substitute provides a 5°C extended upper temperature limit, which does not restrict compatibility in applications designed for the original component.

Q: What is the response frequency of the substitute?

A: The IME18-08NPSZC0S specifies a response frequency of 1kHz. This parameter was not provided for the original IMN35188P and does not affect substitution compatibility for standard inductive proximity sensing applications.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The IMN35188P is RoHS Compliant, and the IME18-08NPSZC0S carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The IMN35188P was supplied in standard packaging (not specified). The IME18-08NPSZC0S is available in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement process.
