Omron E2E-X6C312-M1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X6C312-M1 uses an M12 shielded short-body design with 6 mm sensing and DC 3-wire NPN NO+NC switching. Its setting range extends from 0 to 4.8 mm, while an M12 connector provides removable wiring for the sensor. Operating voltage covers 10 to 30 VDC with an 800 Hz response frequency. An iron 18 × 18 × 1 mm standard object is specified for ferrous metals, with IP67 and ISO 20653 listed. The E2E-X6C312-M1 belongs to the E2E NEXT Series, and comparable output formats can be reviewed through the broader 6 mm NPN proximity sensor range available across industrial sensing products from Omron Sensors for automation use.

The Omron E2E-X6C312-M1 Proximity Sensor uses an M12 shielded short-body housing with 6 mm sensing and a 0 to 4.8 mm setting range. Its DC 3-wire NPN output provides both normally open and normally closed switching through an M12 connector. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC with an 800 Hz response frequency. Ferrous metals are specified using an iron 18 × 18 × 1 mm standard object. Rated current is 100 mA max. for 1-output operation and 50 mA max. for the listed 2-output mode. Power supply reverse polarity, output reverse polarity, surge, and output short-circuit protection are specified. An orange operation indicator and green communication indicator provide status information for standard I/O and IO-Link operation.
For an Omron M12 proximity sensor requiring shielded 6 mm sensing, compact mounting, removable wiring, and NPN NO+NC switching, the relevant model is the E2E-X6C312-M1. Operating and storage temperatures cover -25 to 70°C, while IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 are listed. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are included in the material specification. The same format also suits Omron NPN proximity sensor, Omron 6 mm proximity sensor, and Omron shielded proximity sensor requirements.
