Omron E2E-X12C3L18-M1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X12C3L18-M1 gives both NPN NO and NC switching from an M18 shielded long-body sensor with a 12 mm sensing range. Its inductive face supports a 0 to 9.6 mm setting distance, while an M12 connector provides removable cable connection. The sensor runs from 10 to 30 VDC and has a 500 Hz response frequency. See the E2E-X12C3L18-M1 within the E2E NEXT product family, then review comparable models from the NO+NC proximity sensor range and related sensing products available through Omron Sensor Products.

The Omron E2E-X12C3L18-M1 Proximity Sensor uses an M18 shielded inductive body with a 12 mm sensing distance, 0 to 9.6 mm setting range, and long-body construction. It provides DC 3-wire NPN NO+NC switching through an M12 connector and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is specified as the sensing object, using an iron 36 × 36 × 1 mm standard target. Response frequency is 500 Hz. Current ratings reach 100 mA max. for 1-output models and 50 mA max. for 2-output versions. Reverse polarity, surge suppression, output short circuit, and output reverse polarity protection are included.
Operating and storage conditions cover -25 to 70°C, while IP67 according to IEC 60529 and ISO 20653 are specified. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are listed among the construction materials. When an M18 NPN proximity sensor needs both normally open and normally closed output in a long-body format, the E2E-X12C3L18-M1 provides NO+NC switching together with a 12 mm sensing range and M12 connector. For the normally open version using the same M18 format, see E2E-X12C118-M1.
