What it is and where it goes
Omron E2E-S05S12-WC-C1-R 2M is a shielded inductive proximity switch in a 5 mm diameter threaded cylindrical case. It detects ferrous metal targets at 1.2 mm, outputs a NPN normally-open signal, and comes prewired with a 2 m bend-resistant cable. This form factor and output are standard for machine-tool sensing, pick-and-place grippers, and conveyors where space is tight and flush mounting is required.
