Omron TL-N20ME1 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron TL-N20ME1 2M is a rectangular unshielded proximity sensor with a 20 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 16 mm setting distance. It uses a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation, a pre-wired 2 m cable, and a 12 to 24 VDC supply. Ferrous metal is the detectable object, with an iron 50 × 50 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 40 Hz, differential travel is 15% max. of sensing distance, and control-output load current reaches 100 mA at 12 VDC or 200 mA at 24 VDC. A red detection indicator, reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression and IP67 protection are listed. The TL-N20ME1 belongs to the rectangular inductive sensor range within the Omron automation sensing portfolio.

The Omron TL-N20ME1 2M Proximity Sensor uses a rectangular unshielded sensing body with a 20 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 16 mm setting distance. Its electrical configuration is DC 3-wire NPN with NO operation, connected through a pre-wired 2 m cable and supplied from 12 to 24 VDC. Ferrous metal is specified as the detectable object, with an iron 50 × 50 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 40 Hz and differential travel is 15% max. of sensing distance. Current consumption is 8 mA max. at 12 VDC and 15 mA max. at 24 VDC. Control-output load current reaches 100 mA at 12 VDC or 200 mA at 24 VDC, with a red detection indicator provided.
The protection circuit includes reverse-polarity protection and a surge suppressor. Operating and storage temperature is -25 to 70°C without icing or condensation, while humidity is 35% to 95% without condensation. Heat-resistant ABS is the listed material and IP67 is the specified degree of protection. The 20 mm sensing distance and 40 Hz response frequency distinguish this rectangular TL-N model from shorter-range variants in the same family. For a related TL-N version retaining the rectangular format and NPN output concept while changing the switching state from NO to NC, see TL-N20ME2 2M.
