Omron E2E-X8MB1TL12 2M is a standard M12 inductive proximity sensor from the E2E NEXT series. Senses ferrous targets at 8 mm through an unshielded face, outputting PNP normally open on a 3-wire configuration. Runs on 10–30 VDC and switches at up to 800 Hz, fast enough for most discrete part detection on conveyors or packaging machinery.
What the ratings mean for fit
8 mm sensing distance for mild steel targets; unshielded requires 8 mm clearance to adjacent steel. 800 Hz response; IP67/IP69K rated. PNP-NO output pairs directly with sinking PLC inputs (most Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Omron). The 3-wire connection is standard: brown +VDC, blue 0V, black signal. Cable length 2 m gives you routing slack to a nearby junction box; if you need longer, order the variant with a connector instead.
