The E2B-M18LN16-WP-B2 5M: Both are M18, unshielded, normally closed, and use PVC cable. The E2K-X8MY2 runs on 100–220 VAC with 2-wire output; this E2B is PNP DC. You cannot drop one into the other’s panel without swapping the input card or adding an interposing relay. If your BOM is already wired for AC, the E2K is the right call — for a modern DC automation bay, the E2B is the one.
