Omron TL-W5E1 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron TL-W5E1 2M is a flat inductive proximity sensor with a shielded sensing face, 5 mm sensing distance, and 0 to 4 mm setting distance. The model 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 listed as the detectable object with an iron 18 × 18 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 300 Hz minimum, current consumption is 15 mA max. at 24 VDC with no load, and control-output load current is 200 mA. A red detection indicator, reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, and IP67 protection are specified. The TL-W5E1 belongs to the Proximity sensor range from Omron industrial sensors.

The Omron TL-W5E1 2M Proximity Sensor is specified with a flat inductive, shielded sensing face, a 5 mm sensing distance, and a 0 to 4 mm setting distance. It uses a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation and is supplied with a pre-wired 2 m cable. The power-supply range is 12 to 24 VDC. Ferrous metal is the detectable object stated in the specification, with an iron 18 × 18 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 300 Hz minimum, current consumption is 15 mA max. at 24 VDC with no load, and control-output load current is 200 mA. A red detection indicator is provided for the output state.
Reverse-polarity protection and a surge suppressor form the specified protection circuit. Operating and storage conditions cover -25 to 70°C without icing or condensation and 35% to 95% humidity. Aluminum die-cast and heat-resistant ABS are listed as materials, and degree of protection is IP67. Unlike unshielded TL-W variants, this model combines shielded 5 mm sensing with an NPN NO electrical configuration. For the corresponding shielded 5 mm model using the same supply range, 2 m cable, response frequency, and NO switching mode but changing the transistor output from NPN to PNP, see TL-W5F1 2M.
