The E2E-X18MY1-M4: This is an OMRON E2E inductive proximity switch — unshielded head, 18 mm sensing distance, normally open output, wired AC 2-wire. Line voltage in, no DC supply needed. That 1/2-20 UNF microchange connector means you're not grabbing a standard M12 cordset; verify the mating plug before the panel shuts. Unshielded gives you longer range than a flush-mount shielded, but demands clear air around the face — no metal within the head diameter. Typical fit: presence detection on packaging conveyors, material handling, or machine tool position feedback where an AC load (contractor coil, relay) gets driven directly.

Frequently asked questions
What is the output configuration?
Normally open (NO), AC 2-wire.
Can the E2KQ-X10ME1 drop in as a substitute?
No. The E2KQ-X10ME1 is a capacitive sensor with a different operating principle (detects dielectrics, not metals), and its output is NPN 3-wire DC — not electrically or functionally interchangeable with this inductive AC 2-wire switch.
