Omron E2E-X3C18 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X3C18 2M is a short-body M8 model with shielded mounting, 3 mm sensing, and DC 3-wire NPN normally open switching. A pre-wired 2 m cable supports fixed connection, while the sensing setting range is specified from 0 to 2.4 mm. It runs from 10 to 30 VDC at a 1,000 Hz response frequency. The E2E-X3C18 2M is included in the E2E NEXT Series, with additional NPN configurations available across the broader NPN proximity sensor range offered among industrial sensing products from Omron Sensor Products.

The Omron E2E-X3C18 2M Proximity Sensor uses an M8 shielded short-body construction with 3 mm sensing and a 0 to 2.4 mm setting range. A DC 3-wire NPN circuit provides normally open output through a pre-wired 2 m cable. The specified operating voltage is 10 to 30 VDC and response frequency is 1,000 Hz. Ferrous metal is referenced with an iron 9 × 9 × 1 mm standard object. The listed 1-output current rating is 100 mA max. Supply polarity, output polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are included.
For an Omron M8 proximity sensor requiring NPN NO switching with compact mounting and fixed wiring, the specified model is the E2E-X3C18. Operating and storage temperatures extend from -25 to 70°C, while IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 are listed. Construction materials include nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC. The specification is also relevant to an Omron NPN proximity sensor, Omron 3 mm proximity sensor, and Omron pre-wired proximity sensor. For a related M8 shielded short-body NPN NO model with an M8 4-pin connector, see E2E-X3C18-M3.
