The Omron E2EX8MB1T12M1OMS is an M12 inductive sensor from the E2E-Next series — PNP normally open, 8 mm sensing distance, non-flush mount. It switches at 800 Hz and handles a 200 mA continuous load, drawing 16 mA from a 10–30 VDC supply. The brass nickel-plated barrel and IP67/IP69K rating mean it holds up under high-pressure washdown, so it's a natural fit for hygienic lines or wet environments where caustic CIP cycles are routine.
How it compares to the 70 mm connector version
The sibling E2EX8MB1TL12M1OMS shares the same electrical specs — same 8 mm sensing distance, same PNP NO output, same M12 4-pin connector, same voltage range and switching frequency. The only meaningful difference is body length: 48 mm on this unit, 70 mm on the TL variant. That affects how much clearance you need behind the sensing face. If your existing panel was drilled for a 70 mm body, the 48 mm will fit with extra room; if a shorter sensor is required and you have the space, the 70 mm also works. Either way, the wiring is identical and no re-pinning needed.
