The E2F-X2F1: M12 shielded PNP proximity sensor with a 2mm flush sensing range, rated IP68 for wet environments. Runs on 10-30VDC, switches up to 200mA, normally open output. The 2m bare wire cable is prewired — trim and terminate to a PNP input card. Current production, standard lead time.
How it sits against the M8 sibling
Compared to the E2F-X1R5F1 (M8 body, same 2mm shielded range, IP68): the M12 form factor here provides a stiffer mounting base and higher typical torque capacity for vibration-prone brackets. Wiring is identical — 3-wire PNP NO — so a swap only requires upsizing the mounting hole from 8mm to 12mm.
Threads into a standard M12 hole; shielded sensing face allows flush mounting in metal without derating the 2mm range. The 2m cable has bare wire ends — strip 8mm, use ferrule, terminate to a PNP input. The integral indicator light confirms output state during commissioning.
Carries IP68 and NEMA 4X ratings for washdown duty. Approved under CCC, CE, CSA, and cURus — covers documentation for most global panel builds.
