Omron E2E-X2MC28-M5 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X2MC28-M5 uses an M8 unshielded short-body construction with a 2 mm sensing range, DC 3-wire NPN normally closed output, and an M8 3-pin connector. Its setting distance is specified from 0 to 1.6 mm, while operating voltage is 10 to 30 VDC. Response frequency reaches 1,000 Hz, with reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection included. The E2E-X2MC28-M5 is included in the E2E NEXT Series and provides another switching choice within the M8 proximity sensor selection available through sensing products from Omron Sensors.

The Omron E2E-X2MC28-M5 Proximity Sensor provides a 2 mm sensing distance from an M8 unshielded short-body housing with a 0 to 1.6 mm setting range. Its DC 3-wire NPN output follows normally closed logic through an M8 3-pin connector. Supply voltage is 10 to 30 VDC and response frequency is 1,000 Hz. Ferrous metals are specified with an iron 8 × 8 × 1 mm standard object. Maximum current reaches 200 mA for 1-output models and 50 mA for 2-output versions. Supply reverse polarity, output reverse polarity, surge, and output short-circuit protection are specified.
For buyers comparing an Omron M8 proximity sensor with NPN NC switching and compact three-pin wiring, the relevant version is the E2E-X2MC28-M5. Operating and storage temperatures cover -40 to 85°C, while IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 are specified. Stainless SUS303, PBT, nickel-plated brass, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are listed among the materials. This model also aligns with searches for Omron NPN proximity sensors and Omron 2 mm proximity sensors. For an M12 PNP NO model with an 8 mm sensing range, compare E2E-X8MB1TL12-M1.
