Omron E2E-X4B212-M1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X4B212-M1 combines a compact M12 body with shielded 4 mm inductive sensing and normally closed PNP switching. The sensor offers a 0 to 3.2 mm setting distance, DC 3-wire output, an M12 connector, and a 10 to 30 VDC supply range. Ferrous metals are the specified detection targets, using an iron 12 × 12 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 1,000 Hz, while the one-output model is rated up to 200 mA. Protection is provided against supply reverse polarity, surge, output short circuit, and output reverse polarity. The E2E-X4B212-M1 is included among M12 PNP NC proximity sensors from Omron factory automation sensors.

The Omron E2E-X4B212-M1 Proximity Sensor places a 4 mm sensing range inside an M12 shielded short-body design with a 0 to 3.2 mm setting distance. It provides DC 3-wire PNP NC switching through an M12 connector and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metals are the specified detection targets, with an iron 12 × 12 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 1,000 Hz. The one-output version supports up to 200 mA. Supply reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, output short-circuit protection, and output reverse-polarity protection are included, while Standard I/O and IO-Link operation use dedicated status indicators.
Operating and storage conditions for the E2E-X4B212-M1 span -40 to 85°C, with IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 protection specified. The M12 connector allows detachable cable replacement during maintenance, while short-body construction helps reduce installation depth. Shielded sensing permits the active face to be positioned near surrounding metal without changing the stated mounting format. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are listed among the material details. PNP NC operation provides a sourcing normally closed signal for compatible controls. For a larger E2E model using an M30 body, 22 mm sensing distance, and NPN switching, see E2E-X22C230-M1.
