Omron E2E-X5ME2 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X5ME2 2M uses an M12 cylindrical unshielded sensing arrangement to deliver a 5 mm inductive detection range with a 0 to 4 mm setting distance. It provides a DC 3-wire NPN output with NC operation through an oil-resistant PVC pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified target, paired with an iron 15 × 15 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 0.4 kHz, while control output is rated 200 mA max. Load short-circuit, surge, and reverse-polarity protection are specified. The E2E-X5ME2 2M is part of unshielded NPN proximity sensors from Omron sensing and control products.

The Omron E2E-X5ME2 2M Proximity Sensor uses a cylindrical M12 unshielded sensing body to provide a 5 mm inductive detection distance and a 0 to 4 mm setting range. It delivers DC 3-wire NPN NC switching through an oil-resistant PVC pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified target, with an iron 15 × 15 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 0.4 kHz, while control output is rated 200 mA max. A red operation indicator is provided, together with load short-circuit protection, surge suppression, and reverse-polarity protection for the electrical circuit.
Operating conditions for the E2E-X5ME2 extend from -25 to 70°C, while storage covers -40 to 85°C without icing or condensation. IEC 60529 IP67 and an in-house oil-resistant rating are specified. The unshielded M12 format provides the stated 5 mm sensing range, while its fixed oil-resistant PVC cable supports machine environments where direct wiring is preferred. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are listed among the construction materials. NPN NC switching provides a sinking normally closed output. For a larger E2E model using an M30 body, 15 mm sensing distance, NPN output, and pre-wired cable, see E2E-X15C130 2M.
