Omron E2E-X8MC18-M5 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X8MC18-M5 provides 8 mm sensing from an M8 unshielded short-body design with DC 3-wire NPN normally open output. The setting range covers 0 to 6 mm, and an M8 3-pin connector supports compact removable wiring. Supply voltage extends from 10 to 30 VDC, while response frequency is specified at 500 Hz. The three-pin interface offers a practical choice where limited connection space and an M8 sensor body are preferred. The E2E-X8MC18-M5 forms part of the E2E NEXT Series, while similar NPN versions can be reviewed through the wider 8 mm NPN proximity sensor range offered by Omron Sensor Products for automation use.

The Omron E2E-X8MC18-M5 Proximity Sensor uses an M8 unshielded short-body housing with 8 mm sensing and a setting range from 0 to 6 mm. DC 3-wire NPN output operates as normally open through an M8 3-pin connector. Supply voltage covers 10 to 30 VDC, while response frequency is 500 Hz. Ferrous metals are referenced using an iron 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard object. Rated output current is 50 mA max. Reverse supply polarity, reverse output polarity, surge suppression, and output short-circuit protection are provided. Stainless steel, PBT, nickel-plated brass, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are included in the listed materials. The orange operation indicator and green communication indicator provide visual status information.
For compact applications where an Omron M8 proximity sensor requires unshielded 8 mm sensing, NPN NO switching, and three-pin connector wiring, the specified model is the E2E-X8MC18-M5. Operating and storage temperatures extend from -25 to 70°C, with IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 listed. Its format also suits Omron NPN proximity sensor, Omron 8 mm proximity sensor, and Omron M8 connector proximity sensor requirements. For a related short-body NPN NO model using an M8 4-pin connector, see E2E-X8MC18-M3.
