Omron E2E-X2Y1 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X2Y1 2M is a cylindrical M12 inductive proximity sensor designed with shielded sensing for a 2 mm detection distance and 0 to 1.6 mm setting range. It uses AC 2-wire NO operation from 24 to 240 VAC and includes an oil-resistant PVC pre-wired 2 m cable. Ferrous metal is the specified target, with an iron 12 × 12 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 25 Hz, load current ranges from 5 to 100 mA, and a red indicator shows operation.

The Omron E2E-X2Y1 2M Proximity Sensor uses a cylindrical M12 shielded inductive sensing arrangement with a 2 mm sensing distance and 0 to 1.6 mm setting distance. It operates as an AC 2-wire NO sensor from 24 to 240 VAC and is supplied with an oil-resistant PVC pre-wired 2 m cable. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, paired with an iron 12 × 12 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 25 Hz, while the specified load current range is 5 to 100 mA. A red operation indicator is provided, and surge suppression is included. These characteristics make it suitable for applications using Omron M12 proximity sensors for short-range ferrous-metal detection.
Operating and storage conditions for the E2E-X2Y1 cover -25 to 70°C with no icing or condensation. IEC 60529 IP67 and an in-house oil-resistant rating are specified for environmental protection. Stainless steel SUS303, PBT, nickel-plated brass, and zinc-plated iron are listed among the construction materials. Shielded construction supports installation near surrounding metal, while the 2 mm sensing distance provides close target detection. The AC two-wire configuration also provides a different wiring option from DC proximity sensors used in automation equipment. For another M12 E2E sensor with an unshielded 5 mm sensing distance and pre-wired cable, see E2E-X5MY1 2M.
