The Omron E2E-X16MC212-M1 Proximity Sensor uses an M12 unshielded inductive housing with a 16 mm sensing distance and 0 to 12.2 mm setting range. Its short-body format provides DC 3-wire NPN normally closed output through an M12 connector and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is specified as the sensing material, using an iron 48 × 48 × 1 mm standard target. Response frequency is 400 Hz and maximum current is 50 mA. Supply reverse polarity, output reverse polarity, surge suppression, and output short-circuit protection are included.
Operating and storage temperatures range from -25 to 70°C, while IP67 according to IEC 60529 and ISO 20653 are specified for this M12 NPN NC proximity sensor. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are listed among the construction materials. For applications requiring normally closed NPN operation in a compact threaded format, the E2E-X16MC212-M1 provides 16 mm sensing with an M12 connector for removable wiring. Standard I/O and IO-Link modes use separate operation and communication indicators.
