Product details

M8 Shielded Proximity Sensor, 1.5 mm NPN NC

The Omron E2EL-C1R5E2-M3 is a shielded inductive proximity sensor in an M8 smooth barrel form factor, delivering a 1.5 mm sensing distance on ferrous metal targets. It outputs an NPN normally closed (NC) signal, meaning the output transistor is on when no target is present and switches off when the target enters the detection zone — a configuration often used for fail-safe monitoring in machine guarding circuits. The M8 3-pin connector mates with standard M8 cordsets, simplifying field replacement without rewiring the panel side.

Frequently asked questions

What is the sensing distance of E2EL-C1R5E2-M3?

The sensing distance is 1.5 mm on a standard ferrous metal target. Because it is shielded, the sensor can be flush-mounted in metal without derating the detection range.

Is E2EL-C1R5E2-M3 normally open or normally closed?

It is normally closed (NC) — the NPN output is on when no target is present and turns off when the target is detected.

What is the output type of E2EL-C1R5E2-M3: NPN or PNP?

The output is NPN, sinking current when active. This is common in older PLC input cards and Japanese-origin control systems.

What is the connector type on E2EL-C1R5E2-M3?

It has an M8 3-pin connector, a standard micro-style circular connector for small proximity sensors. The pinout follows the Omron convention: pin 1 (brown) for supply, pin 3 (blue) for ground, and pin 4 (black) for the NPN output.
