Omron E2E-X8MC28 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X8MC28 2M uses an M8 unshielded short-body format with 8 mm sensing and DC 3-wire NPN normally closed switching. A pre-wired 2 m cable provides fixed connection, while the setting range extends from 0 to 6 mm. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC with a 500 Hz response frequency. Its compact threaded body and fixed cable provide a straightforward option where removable connectors are not required. The E2E-X8MC28 2M belongs to the E2E NEXT Series, while comparable fixed-wiring options can be explored through the wider M8 NPN proximity sensor range offered among products from Omron Automation Products for industrial sensing.

The Omron E2E-X8MC28 2M 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 closed through a pre-wired 2 m cable. The sensor accepts 10 to 30 VDC and supports a 500 Hz response frequency. Ferrous metal is specified using an iron 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard object. Rated output current is 50 mA max. Supply reverse polarity, output reverse polarity, surge suppression, and output short-circuit protection are included. Stainless steel, PBT, nickel-plated brass, zinc-plated iron, and PVC appear in the material details. Orange and green indicators provide operation and communication status.
For fixed wiring where an Omron M8 proximity sensor requires unshielded 8 mm sensing, NPN NC switching, and short-body mounting, the relevant model is the E2E-X8MC28. Operating and storage temperatures cover -25 to 70°C, while IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 are listed. This format also matches Omron NPN proximity sensor, Omron pre-wired proximity sensor, and Omron 8 mm proximity sensor requirements. For a related short-body NPN NC version using an M8 4-pin connector, see E2E-X8MC28-M3.
