Omron E2E-X8MD1-M1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X8MD1-M1 is a cylindrical M12 unshielded inductive proximity sensor with an 8 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 6.4 mm setting distance. It uses DC 2-wire NO switching through an M12 connector and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, paired with an iron 30 × 30 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 0.8 kHz, while control output is rated from 3 to 100 mA with a 50 mA diagnostic output. Red and green indicators show operation and setting status. The E2E-X8MD1-M1 is included among M12 DC 2-wire proximity sensors from Omron industrial automation sensing.

The Omron E2E-X8MD1-M1 Proximity Sensor uses a cylindrical M12 unshielded inductive sensing body with an 8 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 6.4 mm setting distance. It provides DC 2-wire NO switching through an M12 connector and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with an iron 30 × 30 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 0.8 kHz. Control output is rated from 3 to 100 mA, while diagnostic output is rated 50 mA. Red and green LEDs provide operation and setting indication. Surge suppression and load short-circuit protection for control and diagnostic outputs are specified.
Operating conditions for the E2E-X8MD1-M1 extend from -25 to 70°C, while storage covers -40 to 85°C without icing or condensation. IEC 60529 IP67 is specified for environmental protection. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, and zinc-plated iron are included in the material data. The unshielded M12 sensing configuration provides an 8 mm range and combines DC 2-wire NO switching with a detachable M12 connector. Ferrous metal remains the specified target material, while separate red and green indicators provide visible operating and setting status. For another E2E model with an M18 body, 14 mm sensing distance, and NPN output, see E2E-X14C218-M1.
