Omron E2E-X5E2-M1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X5E2-M1 uses a cylindrical M18 shielded body with 5 mm sensing and a setting range from 0 to 4 mm. DC 3-wire NPN normally closed output is provided through an M12 connector. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC with a 0.6 kHz response frequency. The E2E-X5E2-M1 forms part of the E2E Series, while other shielded switching options can be reviewed through the broader 5 mm NPN proximity sensor range across Omron Industrial Sensor Products.

The Omron E2E-X5E2-M1 Proximity Sensor uses a cylindrical M18 shielded body with a 5 mm sensing distance and a setting range from 0 to 4 mm. DC 3-wire NPN normally closed output is provided through an M12 connector, allowing detachable electrical connection. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC with a 0.6 kHz response frequency. Ferrous metal is specified using an iron 18 × 18 × 1 mm standard object, while control output is rated at 200 mA max. Load short-circuit protection, surge suppression, and reverse polarity protection are included. The shielded M18 format supports flush-style mounting requirements where surrounding metal conditions call for a shielded sensing structure.
For an Omron M18 proximity sensor requiring shielded 5 mm sensing, NPN NC switching, and removable M12 connection, the applicable model is the E2E-X5E2-M1. Operating and storage temperatures extend from -40 to 85°C, and IEC 60529 IP67 is specified. This configuration also matches Omron NPN proximity sensor, Omron 5 mm proximity sensor, Omron shielded proximity sensor, and Omron M12 connector proximity sensor requirements. The 5 mm sensing range and M18 threaded body provide a mid-size option between compact M8/M12 models and larger M30 versions. For a PNP NC model with the same M18 shielded 5 mm sensing format, see E2E-X5F2-M1.
