Omron E2E-X8MC28-M3 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X8MC28-M3 provides an M8 unshielded short-body format with 8 mm sensing and DC 3-wire NPN normally closed output. Its setting range extends from 0 to 6 mm, and an M8 4-pin connector supports removable wiring. Supply voltage covers 10 to 30 VDC, while response frequency is specified at 500 Hz. The four-pin interface is useful where compact sensor dimensions and accessible cable replacement are needed. The E2E-X8MC28-M3 forms part of the E2E NEXT Series, while related NC configurations can be reviewed through the broader M8 connector proximity sensor range available from Omron Sensor Range for automation use.

The Omron E2E-X8MC28-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 closed switching through an M8 4-pin connector. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC with a 500 Hz response frequency. Ferrous metals are referenced with an iron 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard object. Rated output current is 50 mA max. Power supply reverse polarity, output reverse polarity, surge, and output short-circuit protection are specified. Stainless steel, PBT, nickel-plated brass, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are included among the material details. The connector format supports accessible cable replacement while retaining compact mounting.
For an Omron M8 proximity sensor requiring unshielded 8 mm sensing, NPN NC switching, short-body mounting, and four-pin wiring, the specified model is the E2E-X8MC28-M3. Operating and storage temperatures extend from -25 to 70°C, together with IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653. Its format also supports Omron NPN proximity sensor, Omron M8 connector proximity sensor, and Omron 8 mm proximity sensor requirements. For a related short-body NPN NC model using a fixed pre-wired 2 m cable, see E2E-X8MC28 2M.
