The E2E2-X8MD1 2M: If your BOM originally called for the E2E2-X5MB1-M1, don't assume this is a drop-in. The X5MB1 is a 5 mm shielded sensor with a 3-wire PNP output and an M12 connector. The X8MD1 here is unshielded, 8 mm, and 2-wire DC. Different wiring, different mounting rules, different detection range. You'll need to re-evaluate the target distance and verify that your load can tolerate the 2-wire voltage drop.

Frequently asked questions
Can E2E2-X8MD1 2M replace an E2E2-X5MB1-M1 without rewiring?
No. The X5MB1 is a 3-wire PNP sensor; the X8MD1 is a 2-wire DC sensor. Different wiring scheme and output type. Also sensing distances differ (8 mm vs 5 mm) and the X5MB1 has an M12 connector while this has a 2 m cable. A direct swap is not possible without significant modifications.
