It uses a shielded M18 threaded polyarylate-resin body with a 5 mm sensing range on ferrous metal targets, NPN normally-closed output, and a 3-wire 10–30 V DC supply. The resin housing and IP68 rating make it suitable for food and beverage washdown lines, machine-tool coolant zones, and outdoor conveyor systems where metal-bodied sensors would corrode. The sensor is in active production — no end-of-life notice applies. This is a stocking line for us; quantities are position-held for quick-turn BOM fulfillment. ## Electrical and mechanical fit | Parameter | Value | |---|---| | Sensing distance | 5 mm ±10% (ferrous metal) | | Output | NPN, normally closed (NC) | | Supply voltage | 10–30 V DC | | Current consumption | 17 mA max | | Switching frequency | 600 Hz | | Housing | M18 × 1 mm thread, shielded | | Body material | Polyarylate resin | | Connection | Prewired 2 m cable | | Operating temperature | −25 °C to +70 °C | | Protection | IP68 (submersion-rated) | | Certifications | CCC, CE, CSA, cURus | ## Compared to the E2F-X2Y2 — wiring is different, mounting is different A common question from maintenance engineers sourcing a spare: will the X5E2 swap in for an E2F-X2Y2? The answer is no — these are electrically and mechanically distinct: - **E2F-X5E2**: 10–30 V DC, 3-wire NPN NC, M18 threaded body, 5 mm range - **E2F-X2Y2**: 20–264 V AC, 2-wire, M12 threaded body, 2 mm range The M18 body needs a larger mounting hole than the M12 X2Y2. The DC supply and third wire mean the I/O card or relay wiring is different. If you are migrating from an X2Y2 installation, verify your panel has a DC supply rail and an NPN-compatible input before ordering. ## Compliance and documentation This sensor carries CCC, CE, CSA, and cURus marks covering North America, Europe, and China. The manufacturer datasheet is available for download on this page. For UL 508A panel builds or CE-marked machinery, these certifications simplify the technical file without needing separate component approvals. ## Stock and ordering We hold position stock on the E2F-X5E2 with same-day dispatch for quantities under 50 pieces. Volume pricing applies above 200 units — request a quote with your BOM for a line-item offer. Lead time for unstocked quantities is typically two to four weeks ex-factory.","metaTitle":"E2F-X5E2 Omron Inductive Proximity Sensor, M18, 5mm, NPN NC, IP68","metaDescription":"Omron E2F-X5E2 inductive proximity sensor: M18 shielded, 5mm sensing, NPN NC, 10–30V DC, IP68 polyarylate housing.
