Output is PNP normally open on a DC 3-wire cable, terminated via an M8 3-pin connector. The sensor supports IO-Link communication at 230.4 kbps for parameterization and diagnostics. ## How it compares to E2C-X1R5AH The E2C-X1R5AH is also an M8 shielded proximity sensor but with a 1.5 mm sensing range—significantly shorter than the 4 mm on this E2E. The E2C uses a pre-wired cable (3 m) rather than the M8 connector here, and its response frequency is 300 Hz versus the standard frequency on this E2E. These differences affect both mounting and wiring: the E2C requires hardwiring into a junction box, while the E2E-X4B1T8-M5 plugs straight into a standard M8 pigtail. For most applications, the E2E provides greater sensing reach and easier field replacement. Shielded M8 proximity switch with standard body length, M8 3-pin connector, PNP output, and 4 mm sensing range.","metaTitle":"Omron E2E-X4B1T8-M5 Proximity, M8 Shielded, 4mm PNP","metaDescription":"Current production E2E NEXT series.
