Omron E2E-X10MY2-M1 is an inductive proximity switch — 10 mm sensing distance, unshielded, AC 2-wire output that's normally closed. The M12 connector makes it a quick swap on a panel where the old sensor has the same shell. Standard oscillation frequency covers general-purpose metal detection in conveyors, packaging, or machine tools.
Not a drop-in from the E2KQ family
The E2KQ-X10ME1 is often looked up alongside this part, but it is a different sensor: capacitive vs inductive, 3-wire NPN-NO DC (10–30 V) with cable leads, versus this E2E's 2-wire AC normally closed with M12 connector. Won't drop in without rewiring and a supply change.
