Omron E2E-X4C18 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X4C18 2M is an M8 shielded inductive proximity sensor with a 4 mm sensing distance, 0 to 3 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It provides a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable and works from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with an iron 12 × 12 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 700 Hz, while the listed 1-output rating is 50 mA max. Standard I/O and IO-Link status indication are specified for the sensor. The E2E-X4C18 2M is included among 4 mm inductive proximity sensors from Omron factory automation products.

The Omron E2E-X4C18 2M Proximity Sensor uses an M8 shielded inductive sensing body with a 4 mm sensing distance, a 0 to 3 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It provides a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with an iron 12 × 12 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 700 Hz, while the listed 1-output rating is 50 mA max. Power-supply reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, output short-circuit protection, and output reverse-polarity protection are specified for the sensor circuit.
Operating conditions for the E2E-X4C18 cover -25 to 60°C, while storage extends from -25 to 70°C. IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 are listed for environmental protection. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are included among the stated construction materials. The compact shielded M8 design combines a 4 mm sensing range with NPN NO switching and direct 2 m cable wiring. Standard I/O mode provides orange operation indication, while IO-Link communication mode also uses a green communication indicator. For another E2E NEXT model with an M12 body, 9 mm sensing distance, PNP NC output, and Smartclick connection, see E2E-X9B212-M1TJ 0.3M.
