Omron E2E-X8MD2-M1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X8MD2-M1 features a cylindrical M12 unshielded body with an 8 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 6.4 mm setting range. It uses DC 2-wire normally closed operation through an M12 connector and works from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is specified at 0.8 kHz. The E2E-X8MD2-M1 belongs to the E2E Series, while other two-wire threaded formats can be explored through the 8 mm 2-wire proximity sensor range within the Omron Sensor Range.

The Omron E2E-X8MD2-M1 Proximity Sensor provides an 8 mm sensing distance from a cylindrical M12 unshielded body with a setting range from 0 to 6.4 mm. It uses DC 2-wire normally closed operation through an M12 connector and operates from a 12 to 24 VDC supply. Response frequency is rated at 0.8 kHz, while ferrous metal is specified using an iron 30 × 30 × 1 mm standard object. Load current ranges from 3 to 100 mA, with a 50 mA diagnostic output. Surge suppression and load short-circuit protection are included. The M12 connector enables detachable wiring, while the unshielded sensing construction provides the stated extended 8 mm range.
For applications requiring an Omron M12 proximity sensor with unshielded 8 mm sensing, two-wire NC operation, and an M12 connector, the relevant model is the E2E-X8MD2-M1. Operating temperature spans -25 to 70°C and storage extends from -40 to 85°C, with IEC 60529 IP67 specified. The model also fits Omron 2-wire proximity sensor, Omron 8 mm proximity sensor, Omron unshielded proximity sensor, and Omron M12 connector proximity sensor requirements. Its two-wire circuit differs from the three-wire NPN and PNP arrangements commonly used in other E2E versions. For a related M12 unshielded 8 mm two-wire version with normally open operation, see E2E-X8MD1-M1.
