The Omron E2E-X10MC212 5M is a current-production M12 inductive proximity sensor from the E2E NEXT series, delivering 10 mm sensing distance with an unshielded face and NPN normally-closed output.
Rated IP67, IP67G, and IP69K, this sensor handles washdown environments — the IP69K rating covers high-pressure, high-temperature spray, common in food and beverage lines. The nickel-plated brass case and PBT sensing face resist corrosion and impacts. Three-wire DC NPN output at 10–30 VDC — normally-closed logic so the signal drops on target presence. Use with sinking PLC inputs or relays; the 5 m PVC cable gives you reach to a junction box without a splice. M12 threaded short-body design (overall length 47.1 mm, threaded length 26 mm) fits tight panel layouts. Unshielded construction means the sensing field projects out the face without a metal shield band — plan 10 mm detection range for ferrous targets, factor in reduction for non-ferrous metals.
