Omron E2E-X1R5C18-M3 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X1R5C18-M3 is a compact M8 shielded inductive proximity sensor with a 1.5 mm sensing distance, 0 to 1.2 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It provides a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation through a 4-pin M8 connector and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metals are the specified detection targets, with an iron 8 × 8 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 2,000 Hz, while the one-output configuration is rated up to 200 mA. The E2E-X1R5C18-M3 is listed among compact M8 proximity sensors from Omron automation sensing solutions.

The Omron E2E-X1R5C18-M3 Proximity Sensor uses a compact M8 shielded inductive sensing body with a 1.5 mm sensing distance, a 0 to 1.2 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It provides a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation through a 4-pin M8 connector and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metals are the specified detectable objects, with an iron 8 × 8 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 2,000 Hz. The one-output configuration is rated up to 200 mA, while two-output variants support up to 50 mA. Power-supply reverse-polarity, surge, output short-circuit, and output reverse-polarity protection are specified.
Operating and storage conditions for the E2E-X1R5C18-M3 extend from -40 to 85°C. IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 are listed for environmental protection. SUS303 stainless steel, PBT, nickel-plated brass, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are included in the material data. The compact shielded M8 design supports mounting close to surrounding metal, while the 2,000 Hz response frequency suits relatively fast target movement. The M8 connector allows detachable cabling in restricted machine spaces. For another E2E sensor using a much larger M30 body, extended 22 mm sensing distance, and dual PNP NO+NC output, see E2E-X22B3DL30 2M.
