This Omron E2E2-X10B1 2M is a shielded inductive proximity sensor with a 10 mm sensing distance and a PNP normally open output. The 2-meter cable makes it a direct-fit replacement in panels that are wired to terminal blocks rather than using a quick-disconnect connector. The shielded construction lets you flush-mount it in metal without losing range, which matters when you're packing sensors into a tight fixture.
The E2E2-X10B1 2M shares the same 30mm barrel and PNP output as the E2E2-X5B1-M1, but doubles the sensing distance from 5 mm to 10 mm. If you're replacing a 5 mm sensor without changing the target, you'll pick up metal sooner — check your application for overtravel or timing issues. The E2E2-X10B1-M1 is the same 10 mm sensor but with an M12 connector instead of a pigtail. The 2M cable here is simpler for permanent wiring; the connector version saves time on changeouts.
Lifecycle and supply posture
Three-wire DC PNP NO — brown to +24V, blue to 0V, black to the input. The shielded barrel allows flush mounting; derate the sensing distance slightly if mounting in non-ferrous materials. The 2-meter cable is 3-conductor plus shield; strip 8mm and land in a spring-cage terminal or screw clamp. Overload protection and reverse polarity protection are built in on this generation.
