Omron E2E-X6MC18 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X6MC18 2M uses an M8 unshielded short-body design with 6 mm sensing and DC 3-wire NPN normally open switching. A pre-wired 2 m cable provides fixed connection, while the setting range extends from 0 to 4.8 mm. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC with an 800 Hz response frequency, giving a compact option for applications that require cable wiring instead of a removable connector. The E2E-X6MC18 2M belongs to the E2E NEXT Series, while similar NPN configurations can be explored through the broader M8 NPN proximity sensor range available across products from Omron Industrial Sensors for machine sensing.

The Omron E2E-X6MC18 2M Proximity Sensor uses an M8 unshielded short-body housing with 6 mm sensing and a setting range from 0 to 4.8 mm. DC 3-wire NPN output operates as normally open through a pre-wired 2 m cable. The sensor works from 10 to 30 VDC with an 800 Hz response frequency. Ferrous metal is specified using an iron 18 × 18 × 1 mm standard object. Output current is rated at 100 mA max. Supply reverse polarity, output reverse polarity, surge, and output short-circuit protection are provided. Stainless steel, PBT, nickel-plated brass, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are listed among the material details. The orange indicator shows operation status, while the green communication indicator supports IO-Link status.
For fixed wiring where an Omron M8 proximity sensor requires unshielded 6 mm sensing, NPN NO switching, and compact mounting, the relevant model is the E2E-X6MC18. Operating and storage temperatures cover -25 to 70°C, while IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 are specified. The same format also fits Omron NPN proximity sensor, Omron pre-wired proximity sensor, and Omron 6 mm proximity sensor requirements. For a related long-body NPN NO version with removable M12 connector wiring, see E2E-X6MC1L8-M1.
