IMN36128P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IMN36128P is an inductive proximity sensor manufactured by Crouzet, designed for non-contact detection applications with an 8mm sensing distance. This cylindrical M12-threaded sensor operates in the 10V to 30V supply range and provides PNP-NC output through a 3-wire connector configuration. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for system maintenance and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IMN36128P is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Sensor Type: Must be Inductive
• Sensing Distance: Must be 0.315" (8mm)
• Output Configuration: Must be PNP-NC, 3-Wire
• Supply Voltage Range: Must accommodate 10V ~ 30V
• Package Form Factor: Must be Cylinder, Threaded - M12
• Shielding Configuration: Must be Unshielded
• Body Material: Must be Nickel-Plated Brass
• Operating Temperature Range: Must span -25°C ~ 70°C minimum
• Ingress Protection: Must meet IP67 rating
• Termination: Must use Connector interface

The E2B-M12KN08-M1-B2 from Omron Automation and Safety meets all specified parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E2B-M12KN08-M1-B2 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete IMN36128P. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The E2B-M12KN08-M1-B2 maintains RoHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements. No design modifications or recalibration are required for direct substitution in existing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the E2B-M12KN08-M1-B2 be used as a direct replacement for the IMN36128P?

A: Yes. Both sensors share identical specifications for sensing distance (8mm), output type (PNP-NC, 3-Wire), supply voltage range (10V ~ 30V), package form factor (M12 threaded cylinder), and operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 70°C). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference in Response Frequency between these parts?

A: The E2B-M12KN08-M1-B2 specifies a Response Frequency of 800Hz. The IMN36128P does not provide this specification in the available data. This parameter does not affect substitution compatibility for standard industrial applications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The IMN36128P is RoHS Compliant. The E2B-M12KN08-M1-B2 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing a more current regulatory standard. Both meet environmental compliance requirements. The substitute part also carries REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Does the M12 connector interface remain the same?

A: Yes. Both sensors use identical M12 threaded cylinder packaging with connector termination. Physical mounting and electrical connection are fully compatible.

Q: Why is the IMN36128P listed as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The E2B-M12KN08-M1-B2 maintains Active status, providing assured long-term availability for new designs and system replacements.
