The Omron E2E-X20MD1 2M is an inductive proximity switch from the E2E series, unshielded, with a 20 mm sensing distance and DC 2-wire normally open output, terminated in a 2 meter PVC cable. The DC 2-wire output simplifies field wiring to two conductors. Unshielded construction means the sensing field extends sideways, so allow clearance from metal beyond the rated distance when flush mounting isn't required.
How it compares to E2KQ-X10ME1
If your BOM calls for an inductive prox with a 20 mm unshielded range, the E2E-X20MD1 2M is the genuine article. The capacitive peer won't drop in directly.
