Omron E2E-X2C212 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X2C212 2M is an M12 shielded inductive proximity sensor with a 2 mm sensing distance, 0 to 1.6 mm setting distance, and short-body configuration. It provides a DC 3-wire NPN output with NC operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the stated detectable object, paired with an iron 12 × 12 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 1,500 Hz, while the listed one-output rating is 200 mA max. Reverse-polarity, surge, and output short-circuit protection are specified. The E2E-X2C212 2M is included among M12 NPN proximity sensors from Omron industrial sensor technology.

The Omron E2E-X2C212 2M Proximity Sensor uses an M12 shielded inductive sensing body with a 2 mm sensing distance, a 0 to 1.6 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It provides a DC 3-wire NPN output with NC operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified sensing target, paired with an iron 12 × 12 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 1,500 Hz, while the listed one-output current rating is 200 mA max. Supply reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, output short-circuit protection, and output reverse-polarity protection are included.
Operating and storage conditions for the E2E-X2C212 extend from -40 to 85°C. IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 are specified for environmental protection. The shielded M12 format supports installation near surrounding metal, while short-body construction limits required rear mounting space. NPN NC switching and a 1,500 Hz response frequency are paired with the stated 2 mm sensing range. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are listed among the materials. Standard I/O and IO-Link communication indicators are also specified. For another E2E model with an M8 body, 6 mm sensing distance, NO switching, and M12 connector, see E2E-X6MC1L8-M1.
