Output is SCR normally open, two-wire, switching 20 to 250 VAC — straight into an AC control circuit without a separate DC supply. Sensing distance is adjustable from 3 mm to 20 mm via a potentiometer inside the housing, giving flexibility for different target sizes or container wall thickness. The unshielded design means it can be flush-mounted in metal without derating, but the sensing field extends beyond the face — account for that in tight arrays. Response frequency is rated 25 Hz for the 20 mm setting and 40 Hz for shorter distances, sufficient for bin-level or flow sensing but not for high-speed counting. Enclosure rating is IP66, meaning dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets — suitable for washdown areas or outdoor enclosures provided the cable entry is sealed. The PVC cable leads are 2 meters long; termination is direct wiring into a terminal block or conduit. Body is plastic (PBT), which eliminates corrosion concerns in wet or chemical environments.","metaTitle":"Omron E2K-C20MT1 2M Capacitive Proximity, 3-20mm, SCR-NO, AC","metaDescription":"Omron E2K-C20MT1 2M capacitive proximity sensor, cylindrical unshielded plastic, SCR-NO 2-wire, 20-250 VAC, sensing distance 3-20 mm adjustable, IP66.
