The Omron E2E-X5MY1 is a current-production M12 inductive proximity sensor with a 5 mm sensing distance on standard mild steel. It uses a 2-wire AC output, NO contact, rated for supply voltages from 20 to 264 V AC. The unshielded face allows flush mounting in close proximity without derating. The body is nickel-plated brass, IP67-rated, and terminates in a built-in M12 connector rather than a fixed cable, which speeds replacement in field service or panel rework.
Ratings and what they mean for fit
Sensing distance is rated 5 mm on standard steel. Unshielded construction means you can mount sensors side by side — no reduction factor for adjacent metal — unlike the shielded variant in the same body which would require spacing. Supply voltage acceptance range is 20-264V AC. The 2-wire NO output switches up to 200 mA load current. Output circuit current is bounded between 5 mA and 100 mA. The -40 °F to +185 °F operating range and IP67 rating confirm use in outdoor cabinets, cold storage, or washdown zones; the cutting-oil resistant jacket and cable protector add longevity in machine-tool environments.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The E2E-X5MY1 lifecycle status is current-production.
