Quick-fit assessment for your BOM line
The E2E-X1R5B1D8-R 5M: Shielded M8 inductive proximity sensor from the E2E NEXT series, delivering a 1.5 mm flush-mount sensing distance with a PNP normally-open output. Rated 10-30 VDC, it switches at 2 kHz — enough for moderate-speed part detection but not sub-millisecond counting. Cable leads with IP67 and IP69K ingress protection. Stainless steel body resists corrosion. Operating temperature covers -40°C to 85°C — cold storage or hot machinery floor, no derating concern within that band.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
Current production — no phase-out, no last-time-buy pressure. This is a standard catalog line from Omron. You can spec it into builds without worrying about an early EOL.
What the ratings mean for fit
The 1.5 mm sensing distance is the rated flush distance — it will detect ferrous targets at that gap reliably. For non-ferrous metals, expect a reduction (typically 30-40% on stainless or aluminum). The shielded construction lets you mount flush in metal without false triggers. Response frequency of 2 kHz. LED indicator shows status during setup. IP69K ingress protection. M8 threaded case.
