Omron E2E-X5C3L18 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X5C3L18 2M features an M18 shielded long-body construction with a 5 mm sensing distance and DC 3-wire NPN NO+NC switching. A pre-wired 2 m cable supports fixed connection, while its setting range extends from 0 to 4 mm. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC with a 600 Hz response frequency. The E2E-X5C3L18 2M is part of the E2E NEXT Series, and related NPN configurations can be reviewed across the wider M18 NPN proximity sensor range offered through the Omron Sensing Range.

The Omron E2E-X5C3L18 2M Proximity Sensor has an M18 shielded long-body housing with a 5 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 4 mm setting range. Its DC 3-wire NPN output provides NO+NC switching through a pre-wired 2 m cable. Supply voltage covers 10 to 30 VDC and response frequency is 600 Hz. Ferrous metal is specified with an iron 18 × 18 × 1 mm standard object. Current ratings are 200 mA max. for 1-output models and 100 mA max. for 2-output models. Reverse polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are included.
Where an Omron M18 proximity sensor requires long-body mounting, NPN NO+NC switching, and fixed cable wiring, the suitable model is the E2E-X5C3L18. Operating and storage temperatures extend from -40 to 85°C, while IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 are specified. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are listed among the construction materials. This version also covers an Omron NPN proximity sensor, Omron 5 mm proximity sensor, and Omron NO+NC proximity sensor. For another NPN E2E NEXT configuration with an M12 connector, see E2E-X8MC18-M1.
