Omron TL-W5MC1 5M Proximity Sensor
Omron TL-W5MC1 5M is a flat inductive, unshielded proximity sensor with a 5 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 4 mm setting distance. It uses a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation through a pre-wired 5 m cable and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with an iron 18 × 18 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 500 Hz minimum, current consumption is 10 mA max. at 24 VDC, and differential travel is 10% max. of sensing distance. A red detection indicator, reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, and IP67 protection are specified. The TL-W5MC1 5M is listed under flat inductive proximity sensors from Omron automation sensors.

The Omron TL-W5MC1 5M Proximity Sensor uses a flat inductive, unshielded sensing body with a 5 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 4 mm setting distance. It provides a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation through a pre-wired 5 m cable and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with an iron 18 × 18 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 500 Hz minimum, current consumption is 10 mA max. at 24 VDC with no load, and differential travel is 10% max. of sensing distance. A red detection indicator is provided, together with reverse-polarity protection and surge suppression.
Operating and storage conditions for the TL-W5MC1 are -25 to 70°C without icing or condensation, with humidity from 35% to 95%. Heat-resistant ABS is listed as the construction material, and IP67 is the specified protection level. Control-output current is 50 mA max. at 12 VDC and 100 mA max. at 24 VDC, with 30 VDC max. listed for both output conditions. The 5 mm unshielded sensing distance is paired with NPN NO switching and the pre-wired 5 m cable. For another TL-W model with the same 5 mm sensing distance and NPN NO output but a shielded body and 2 m cable, see TL-W5E1 2M.
