Sensor at a glance
The Omron E2EG-X1R5C1 is an 8 mm cylindrical inductive proximity sensor with a 1.5 mm shielded sensing range, NPN normally-open output, and IP67 enclosure, suitable for high-speed part detection up to 2 kHz. Runs on 12…24 VDC, draws 13 mA max, and switches up to 200 mA load directly – enough to drive small relays or PLC inputs without an interposer. The yellow LED indicator on the barrel face gives immediate state feedback for commissioning and troubleshooting. Operating temperature spans -40 to 70 °C, so it works in cold storage or near hot machinery – just watch the ambient at the mounting face.
Comparing to E2E-X1R5B1D8-M1
The E2E-X1R5B1D8-M1 uses an M12 connector and includes oil resistance and Prox3 hybrid circuitry. It requires a PNP input card. If you're swapping in a panel wired for NPN, the E2E-X1R5B1D8-M1 requires a wiring change or a logic-level converter; the E2EG-X1R5C1 keeps the sinking input card happy.
