Omron E2E-X8MC2L12 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X8MC2L12 2M uses an M12 unshielded long-body design with 8 mm sensing and DC 3-wire NPN normally closed switching. A pre-wired 2 m cable provides fixed wiring, while the setting range covers 0 to 6.4 mm. Operating voltage extends from 10 to 30 VDC with an 800 Hz response frequency. The extended threaded body supports applications requiring additional mounting length together with permanent cable connection. The E2E-X8MC2L12 2M belongs to the E2E NEXT Series, while similar NC versions can be explored through the wider M12 pre-wired proximity sensor range offered across products from Omron Industrial Products for machine sensing.

The Omron E2E-X8MC2L12 2M Proximity Sensor uses an M12 unshielded long-body housing with 8 mm sensing and a setting range from 0 to 6.4 mm. DC 3-wire NPN output operates as normally closed through a pre-wired 2 m cable. Operating voltage covers 10 to 30 VDC, while response frequency is 800 Hz. Ferrous metal is specified using an iron 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard object. Current ratings are 200 mA max. for 1-output operation and 100 mA max. for the listed 2-output mode. Supply reverse polarity, output reverse polarity, surge, and output short-circuit protection are included. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are specified among the material details.
For applications requiring an Omron M12 proximity sensor with unshielded 8 mm sensing, NPN NC switching, long-body mounting, and fixed wiring, the relevant model is the E2E-X8MC2L12. The source lists humidity conditions from 35% to 95%, together with IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653. Its format also suits Omron NPN proximity sensor, Omron pre-wired proximity sensor, and Omron long body proximity sensor requirements. For the related long-body version using removable M12 connector wiring, see E2E-X8MC2L12-M1.
