Omron E2E-X16MC2L12 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X16MC2L12 2M provides a 16 mm sensing distance from an M12 unshielded long-body sensor with DC 3-wire NPN normally closed output. Its practical setting range extends from 0 to 12.2 mm, and a pre-wired 2 m cable supports direct installation wiring. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC with a 400 Hz response frequency and a 50 mA maximum current rating.

The Omron E2E-X16MC2L12 2M Proximity Sensor uses an M12 unshielded inductive body with a 16 mm sensing distance, 0 to 12.2 mm setting range, and long threaded construction. Its DC 3-wire NPN normally closed output is supplied through a pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is specified for sensing, using an iron 48 × 48 × 1 mm standard target. Response frequency is 400 Hz and maximum current is 50 mA. Reverse polarity, surge suppression, output short circuit, and output reverse polarity protection are included.
Operating and storage conditions cover -25 to 70°C, while IP67 according to IEC 60529 and ISO 20653 are specified for this long-body M12 NPN proximity sensor. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are among the listed materials. For installations requiring direct cable wiring with an extended threaded section, the E2E-X16MC2L12 provides normally closed NPN operation and a 16 mm sensing distance. For a DC 2-wire NO alternative, see E2E-X3D1-M1G.
