Omron E2E-X5MC312-M1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X5MC312-M1 uses an M12 unshielded short-body design with 5 mm sensing and DC 3-wire NPN NO+NC switching. Its setting range extends from 0 to 4 mm, while an M12 connector provides removable wiring. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC with an 800 Hz response frequency. The E2E-X5MC312-M1 is part of the E2E NEXT Series, while comparable configurations can be viewed through the broader 5 mm NPN proximity sensor range available from Omron Sensors for industrial sensing.

The Omron E2E-X5MC312-M1 Proximity Sensor uses an M12 unshielded short-body design with 5 mm sensing and a 0 to 4 mm setting range. Its DC 3-wire NPN circuit provides NO+NC switching through an M12 connector. Operating voltage is 10 to 30 VDC, while response frequency is 800 Hz. Ferrous metals are specified with an iron 15 × 15 × 1 mm standard object. Rated current is 200 mA max. for 1-output operation and 100 mA max. for the listed 2-output arrangement. Power supply reverse polarity, output reverse polarity, surge, and output short-circuit protection are specified. In SIO mode, the orange indicator shows operation status, while the green communication indicator remains off until IO-Link communication is active.
For applications needing an Omron M12 proximity sensor with 5 mm sensing, dual NPN switching, short-body mounting, and removable wiring, the relevant model is the E2E-X5MC312-M1. Operating and storage temperatures cover -40 to 85°C, with IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 listed. Materials include nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC. The same specification also suits Omron NPN proximity sensor, Omron 5 mm proximity sensor, and Omron unshielded proximity sensor requirements. For a related long-body NPN NO+NC version supplied with a fixed 2 m cable, see E2E-X5MC3L12 2M.
