Omron E2E-X8MC18-M3 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X8MC18-M3 uses an M8 unshielded short-body design with 8 mm sensing and DC 3-wire NPN normally open switching. Its setting range extends from 0 to 6 mm, while an M8 4-pin connector provides removable wiring. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC with a 500 Hz response frequency, making the format suitable where compact mounting and four-pin connection are required. The E2E-X8MC18-M3 belongs to the E2E NEXT Series, while related connector formats can be explored through the broader M8 NPN proximity sensor range available from Omron Sensors for industrial sensing.

The Omron E2E-X8MC18-M3 Proximity Sensor uses an M8 unshielded short-body housing with 8 mm sensing and a 0 to 6 mm setting range. Its DC 3-wire NPN output provides normally open switching through an M8 4-pin connector. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC with a 500 Hz response frequency. Ferrous metals are specified using an iron 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard object. Rated output current is 50 mA max. Supply reverse polarity, output reverse polarity, surge, and output short-circuit protection are included. Stainless steel, PBT, nickel-plated brass, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are listed among the material details. Orange and green indicators provide operation and communication status.
For an Omron M8 proximity sensor requiring unshielded 8 mm sensing, NPN NO switching, compact mounting, and four-pin wiring, the relevant model is the E2E-X8MC18-M3. Operating and storage temperatures cover -25 to 70°C, while IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 are specified. This version also fits Omron NPN proximity sensor, Omron 8 mm proximity sensor, and Omron M8 connector proximity sensor requirements. For a related short-body NPN NO model using an M8 3-pin connector, see E2E-X8MC18-M5.
