Omron E2E-X12C118 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X12C118 2M is an M18 shielded inductive proximity sensor with a 12 mm sensing distance, short-body housing, and DC 3-wire NPN normally open output. Its setting range is 0 to 9.6 mm, while a pre-wired 2 m cable supports direct wiring. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC with a 500 Hz response frequency. Review the E2E-X12C118 2M under the E2E NEXT series, then compare matching options within the NPN proximity sensor range and other industrial sensing models from Omron Sensor Products.

The Omron E2E-X12C118 2M Proximity Sensor uses an M18 shielded inductive body with a 12 mm sensing distance, 0 to 9.6 mm setting range, and short-body construction. Its DC 3-wire NPN normally open output uses a pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is specified as the sensing object, with an iron 36 × 36 × 1 mm standard target. Response frequency is 500 Hz. Current ratings are 100 mA max. for 1-output versions and 50 mA max. for 2-output versions. Reverse polarity, surge suppression, output short circuit, and output reverse polarity protection are included.
The operating and storage range extends from -25 to 70°C, while IP67 according to IEC 60529 and ISO 20653 are specified. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are among the listed construction materials. For applications requiring an M18 NPN proximity sensor with short-body mounting and a fixed 2 m lead, the E2E-X12C118 provides normally open switching with a 12 mm sensing range. For an M30 model with NO+NC switching, see E2E-X10C330 2M.
