The Omron E2EX18MY1 is an inductive proximity sensor with an 18 mm sensing range, an M30 threaded barrel, and a PNP normally open output. Its rated supply voltage of 24 to 240 VAC allows it to be wired directly to AC control circuits without a separate DC supply. The housing is brass with nickel plating, rated IP67 against dust and water ingress. The ambient temperature range from -40 to 85 °C covers most indoor and outdoor industrial locations, from cold storage to oven-adjacent mounting. Switching capacity is specified at 5 to 300 mA, which drives PLC inputs, relay coils, or indicator loads within that current window. The sensor uses a 2-meter, 2-wire cable for connection. Because this sensor uses AC line voltage (24–240 VAC), it is a direct fit for panels where only AC control power is available or for retrofitting older AC proximity sensors. The wide voltage tolerance means it holds its switching state across typical line variations without an additional regulator.
