The prewired 2 m cable terminates bare for field wiring. Mounting hardware and a cable protector with a milled section for wrench grip are included; the indicator light confirms target detection. ## Why the 5 mA minimum load is the real constraint The 2-wire AC output circuit requires a load current between 5 mA and 300 mA for reliable operation. ## Peer check: E2E-X2Y2 is not a candidate The E2E-X2Y2 is a shielded M12 sensor with a 2 mm sensing distance, NC output, and 100 mA max – fundamentally different mounting diameter (M12 vs M30), shielding type (shielded vs unshielded), output logic (NC vs NC vs NO? actually E2E2 is NO as per, and E2E-X2Y2 is NC per output circuit contact form NC), and sensing reach. It is not a physical or functional substitute for this M30 unshielded NC? no, NO) application.","metaTitle":"Omron E2E2-X18MY1-US M30 Unshielded, 18mm","metaDescription":"Omron E2E2-X18MY1-US inductive proximity sensor: M30 uncshielded, 18mm range, 2-wire AC 20-264V, NO output 300mA max, IP67, 2m cable.

The entire 18 mm rated sensing distance is available without derating for flush mounting."},{"question":"Does the E2E-X2Y2 work as a drop-in replacement?","answer":"No. The E2E-X2Y2 is a shielded M12 sensor with a 2 mm sensing distance and NC output.
