Omron E2E-X5MC3L12-M1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X5MC3L12-M1 provides 5 mm sensing from an M12 unshielded long-body design with DC 3-wire NPN NO+NC switching. Its 0 to 4 mm setting range supports adjustment, and an M12 connector allows removable cable connection. The unit operates on 10 to 30 VDC with an 800 Hz response frequency. The E2E-X5MC3L12-M1 forms part of the E2E NEXT Series, while related connector versions can be reviewed through the broader M12 connector proximity sensor range available from Omron Industrial Sensors for machine sensing.

The Omron E2E-X5MC3L12-M1 Proximity Sensor uses an M12 unshielded long-body design with 5 mm sensing and a 0 to 4 mm setting range. DC 3-wire NPN electronics provide NO+NC switching through an M12 connector for removable cable connection. Supply voltage covers 10 to 30 VDC and response frequency is 800 Hz. Ferrous metals are specified with an iron 15 × 15 × 1 mm standard object. The listed current limits are 200 mA max. for 1-output operation and 100 mA max. for 2-output operation. Electrical protection includes reverse supply polarity, reverse output polarity, surge suppression, and output short-circuit protection. Standard I/O operation uses orange status indication, while IO-Link communication adds a green indicator that blinks at one-second intervals.
For an Omron M12 proximity sensor requiring 5 mm sensing, NPN NO+NC switching, long-body mounting, and detachable wiring, the applicable model is the E2E-X5MC3L12-M1. Its operating and storage range extends from -40 to 85°C, with IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 listed. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are included in the material details. The model also fits Omron NPN proximity sensor, Omron 5 mm proximity sensor, and Omron M12 connector proximity sensor requirements. For a related long-body version using a pre-wired 2 m cable instead of the M12 connector, see E2E-X5MC3L12 2M.
