The Omron E2E-C04N03-WC-C1 2M is a 4 mm diameter cylindrical unshielded inductive proximity sensor with a 3 mm sensing range. Its 2 meter PVC cable and DC 3-wire NPN normally open output make it a direct fit for compact detection points requiring a NO signal into a sinking PLC input. Unshielded construction means the sensing face must be flush or slightly recessed in metal; it will not false-trigger from side metal but lacks the side-shielding of a threaded barrel sensor.

Frequently asked questions
Can the E2C-X1R5AH replace the E2E-C04N03-WC-C1 2M?
Not directly. The E2C-X1R5AH is a shielded M8 threaded head with 1.5 mm sensing range and a 3 m cable, while this part is an unshielded 4 mm smooth-body sensor with 3 mm range and 2 m cable. Mounting, sensing distance, and wiring differ.
What is the case style of this sensor?
Cylindrical smooth (unthreaded) case, 4 mm diameter.
What does the 3 mm sensing distance mean for installation?
It can detect ferrous targets up to 3 mm away with the standard sensing object (typically 8x8x1 mm iron). The unshielded coil requires the face to be flush with metal; for best repeatability, mount the sensor free of lateral metal up to the sensing face.
