Omron E2EQ-X8C318-M1TJ 0.3M M18 Sensor, NPN, 8mm, Shielded

This is the E2EQ-X8C318-M1TJ 0.3M, a shielded M18 inductive proximity sensor in the E2EQ NEXT series. It shares the same long-distance sensing core as the E2E NEXT line but adds a fluororesin coating on the sensing face and body. That coating is the key difference: it resists weld slag adhesion and spatter buildup in robotic welding cells, foundry lines, and similar harsh-metalworking environments. Rated IP67 and IP67G, so it holds up against oil and coolant washdown. NPN output, 3-wire DC, 0.3 m pigtail terminated with an M12 Smartclick connector.
