Omron E2E-X2C2L8-M1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X2C2L8-M1 provides 2 mm inductive sensing through an M8 shielded long-body housing with DC 3-wire NPN normally closed switching. A 0 to 1.6 mm setting range is specified, while the M12 connector supports removable cable wiring. The sensor works from 10 to 30 VDC and reaches a 1,500 Hz response frequency. Electrical protection covers reverse polarity, surge, and output short circuit. The E2E-X2C2L8-M1 belongs to the E2E NEXT Series and can be compared with other inductive proximity sensor models available from Omron Sensor Products.

The Omron E2E-X2C2L8-M1 Proximity Sensor has an M8 shielded long-body housing with a 2 mm sensing distance, 0 to 1.6 mm setting range, and DC 3-wire NPN normally closed switching. Its M12 connector allows a separate cable to be selected for the installation. Operating voltage ranges from 10 to 30 VDC and response frequency is 1,500 Hz. Ferrous metal is specified with an iron 8 × 8 × 1 mm standard object. Maximum current reaches 200 mA for 1-output versions and 50 mA for 2-output versions. Reverse polarity, surge, and output short-circuit protection are provided.
Where an Omron M8 proximity sensor requires a long threaded body, NPN NC output, and detachable M12 wiring, the applicable version is the E2E-X2C2L8-M1. Its operating and storage temperature range is -40 to 85°C, with IP67 according to IEC 60529 and ISO 20653 listed. Stainless SUS303, PBT, nickel-plated brass, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are included in the material specification. The model also supports searches for an Omron NPN proximity sensor and Omron M12 connector proximity sensor. For a larger sensing option with a pre-wired cable, compare E2E-X16MC2L12 2M.
