E2E2-X5B1 2M is an Omron inductive proximity sensor for metal target detection. Shielded construction allows flush mounting in steel panels without derating the sensing distance — key when space is tight. Output is DC 3-wire PNP normally open, sourcing to a PLC input. Standard 5 mm sensing distance for an M12 shielded body; the 2 meter pigtail cable keeps wiring straightforward without needing a connector.
Mounting: shielded design means the active face sits flush with the bracket — no air gap needed behind the sensor. Wiring: PNP output delivers a positive signal; confirm your PLC input is sourcing-compatible. The 2 m cable provides slack for routing inside a small cabinet; trim excess rather than coiling tightly to avoid noise pickup.
