Omron E2C-CR8A 3M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2C-CR8A 3M is a separate-amplifier proximity sensor with a 3.5 mm diameter shielded sensing head and a 1.8 mm sensing distance. It uses a pre-wired 3 m cable and is specified for ferrous-metal detection with an iron 5 × 5 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 1 kHz. The sensor is rated for operation and storage from -25 to 70°C, with 35% to 95% humidity, and carries IP67 protection. Stainless steel, ABS resin, and PVC are listed as construction materials. The 3 m connection is specified as a pre-wired cable format. The E2C-CR8A 3M is included in the Proximity sensor category from Omron sensor products.

The Omron E2C-CR8A 3M Proximity Sensor uses a separate-amplifier configuration with a 3.5 mm diameter shielded sensing head and a 1.8 mm sensing distance. Connection is provided through a pre-wired 3 m cable. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with an iron 5 × 5 × 1 mm standard sensing object used for the stated sensing performance. Response frequency is 1 kHz. The compact sensing head, shielded structure, separate-amplifier arrangement, 1.8 mm detection distance, and 3 m cable are the primary technical specifications associated with this model. Stainless steel, ABS resin, and vinyl chloride PVC are listed as construction materials, while the sensor carries IP67 protection.
Environmental conditions for the E2C-CR8A cover -25 to 70°C for both operation and storage without icing or condensation, together with 35% to 95% humidity without condensation. The 3.5 mm diameter sensing head remains paired with the pre-wired 3 m connection, while the rated 1.8 mm sensing distance is specified for ferrous-metal detection using the 5 × 5 × 1 mm iron target. Its 1 kHz response frequency completes the principal sensing data for the model. For another Omron proximity sensor using a compact square design, 2.5 mm sensing distance, DC 2-wire NO operation, and a pre-wired cable, see E2S-Q21 1M.
