Omron E2E-X8MC2L12-M1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X8MC2L12-M1 provides 8 mm sensing from an M12 unshielded long-body design with DC 3-wire NPN normally closed switching. Its setting range extends from 0 to 6.4 mm, while an M12 connector provides removable cable wiring. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC with an 800 Hz response frequency. The extended body and connector interface provide a practical option where serviceable wiring is required. The E2E-X8MC2L12-M1 sits within the E2E NEXT Series, while related connector versions can be viewed through the broader 8 mm NPN proximity sensor range available from Omron Sensing Range for industrial automation.

The Omron E2E-X8MC2L12-M1 Proximity Sensor uses an M12 unshielded long-body housing with 8 mm sensing and a 0 to 6.4 mm setting range. Its DC 3-wire NPN output provides 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 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard object. Current is rated at 200 mA max. for 1-output operation and 100 mA max. for the listed 2-output mode. Reverse supply polarity, reverse output polarity, surge, and output short-circuit protection are included. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are listed among the material details.
For an Omron M12 proximity sensor requiring unshielded 8 mm sensing, NPN NC switching, extended mounting length, and removable wiring, the applicable model is the E2E-X8MC2L12-M1. Operating and storage temperatures extend from -40 to 85°C, while IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 are listed. The same format also supports Omron NPN proximity sensor, Omron M12 connector proximity sensor, and Omron long body proximity sensor requirements. For a related long-body NPN NC version using a fixed pre-wired 2 m cable, see E2E-X8MC2L12 2M.
