Omron E2E-X20MC3L18 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X20MC3L18 2M provides 20 mm inductive sensing through an M18 unshielded long-body construction with DC 3-wire NPN NO+NC output. The sensor has a 0 to 16 mm setting range and uses a pre-wired 2 m cable for direct connection. Operating voltage is 10 to 30 VDC with a 200 Hz response frequency. As part of the E2E NEXT Series, the Omron E2E-X20MC3L18 2M offers dual-state NPN switching in this body size. Related sensing and wiring configurations are listed under 20 mm proximity sensors in the wider range supplied by Omron Sensor Products.

The Omron E2E-X20MC3L18 2M Proximity Sensor has an M18 unshielded long-body construction with 20 mm nominal sensing and a 0 to 16 mm setting range. Its DC 3-wire NPN output provides both NO and NC switching through a pre-wired 2 m cable. The operating supply is 10 to 30 VDC with a 200 Hz response frequency. Ferrous metal is specified with an iron 60 × 60 × 1 mm standard object. Rated output current reaches 100 mA max. for 1-output models and 50 mA max. for 2-output versions. Supply polarity, output polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are included.
For applications comparing Omron NPN proximity sensors that require both normally open and normally closed states from a long-body sensor, the suitable configuration is the E2E-X20MC3L18. Temperature ratings extend from -25 to 70°C for operation and storage, with IP67 and ISO 20653 also specified. This Omron 20 mm proximity sensor uses an M18 threaded body and fixed 2 m wiring. For a compact sensor with connector wiring, compare the Omron E2E-X8MB2L8-M5.
