Omron E2E-X8MC2L8-M5 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X8MC2L8-M5 provides 8 mm sensing from an M8 unshielded long-body housing with DC 3-wire NPN normally closed switching. Connection is made through an M8 3-pin connector, and its setting distance covers 0 to 6 mm. Supply voltage is 10 to 30 VDC with a 500 Hz response frequency. The E2E-X8MC2L8-M5 is part of the E2E NEXT Series, while comparable compact connector formats can be found in the M8 NPN proximity sensor range available from Omron Sensor Products.

The Omron E2E-X8MC2L8-M5 Proximity Sensor provides an M8 unshielded long-body format with 8 mm sensing and a 0 to 6 mm setting range. DC 3-wire NPN normally closed output is connected through an M8 3-pin connector. Supply voltage covers 10 to 30 VDC and response frequency is rated at 500 Hz. Ferrous metals are referenced using an iron 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard object. The listed current rating is 50 mA max. for 1-output operation. 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 in the material specification.
For applications needing an Omron NPN proximity sensor with an M8 body, unshielded 8 mm sensing, NC operation, and compact three-pin wiring, the specified version is the E2E-X8MC2L8-M5. Operating and storage temperatures cover -25 to 70°C, together with IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653. Its long-body configuration also suits Omron M8 proximity sensor, Omron 8 mm proximity sensor, and Omron unshielded proximity sensor requirements. For a closely related NPN NC model using an M8 4-pin connector, see E2E-X8MC2L8-M3.
