Omron E2K-X8MF1 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2K-X8MF1 2M is an unshielded capacitive proximity sensor with an 8 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 5.6 mm setting distance. It uses a DC 3-wire PNP output with NO operation, a pre-wired 2 m cable, and a 12 to 24 VDC supply. Conductors and dielectrics are the specified detectable objects, with a 50 × 50 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 100 Hz, current consumption is 15 mA max., control-output load current is 200 mA max., and differential travel is 4% to 20% of sensing distance. A red detection indicator and IP66 protection are listed. The E2K-X8MF1 belongs to the Proximity sensor family from Omron sensing products.

The Omron E2K-X8MF1 2M Proximity Sensor uses capacitive sensing rather than an inductive detection principle, with conductors and dielectrics listed as detectable objects. Its unshielded configuration provides an 8 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 5.6 mm setting distance. The model has a DC 3-wire PNP output with NO operation, a pre-wired 2 m cable, and a 12 to 24 VDC supply. A 50 × 50 × 1 mm object is specified as the standard sensing target. Response frequency is 100 Hz, current consumption is 15 mA max., and control-output load current is 200 mA max. Differential travel ranges from 4% to 20% of sensing distance, with a red detection indicator provided.
Protection functions cover reverse polarity, surge suppression, load short-circuit protection, and output reverse polarity. The sensor is specified for operation and storage from -25 to 70°C without icing or condensation and for 35% to 95% humidity without condensation. Heat-resistant ABS and polyacetal are listed as materials, with IP66 degree of protection. The key model distinction is its 8 mm capacitive range combined with PNP NO switching and a 2 m cable. A closely corresponding E2K-X model keeps the same sensing distance and principal configuration but changes the transistor output to NPN: E2K-X8ME1 2M.
