Omron E2E-X5MY1-M1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X5MY1-M1 is a cylindrical M12 unshielded inductive proximity sensor with a 5 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 4 mm setting distance. It uses an AC 2-wire NO output through an M12 connector and operates from 24 to 240 VAC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with an iron 15 × 15 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 25 Hz, control output is rated from 5 to 200 mA, and a red LED indicates operation. The E2E-X5MY1-M1 is included among M12 AC proximity sensors from Omron industrial sensing products for metal detection applications.

The Omron E2E-X5MY1-M1 Proximity Sensor uses a cylindrical M12 unshielded inductive sensing body with a 5 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 4 mm setting distance. It provides an AC 2-wire output with NO operation through an M12 connector and operates across a 24 to 240 VAC supply range. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, paired with an iron 15 × 15 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 25 Hz, while control output is rated from 5 to 200 mA. A red operation indicator is provided, and surge suppression is specified for the electrical circuit. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are listed among the construction materials.
Operating and storage conditions for the E2E-X5MY1-M1 extend from -40 to 85°C without icing or condensation, while IEC 60529 IP67 is specified for enclosure protection. The unshielded M12 construction provides the stated 5 mm sensing range for ferrous-metal detection, while the connector format enables detachable wiring during sensor maintenance or replacement. Its wide 24 to 240 VAC operating range allows the sensor to be used in AC control circuits where a two-wire normally open switching arrangement is required. The 25 Hz response frequency corresponds to the stated AC sensing configuration. For another E2E sensor with a larger M18 body, 7 mm sensing distance, and DC 2-wire operation, see E2E-X7D1-M1.
