The Omron E2FQ-X2E1 is an inductive proximity sensor from the E2F series, packaged in a threaded M12 plastic cylinder with a shielded sensing face. It outputs NPN-NO through a 3-wire cable lead and detects ferrous targets at 2 mm. The 2 mm sensing distance is the working range for a mild steel target; the shielded construction allows flush mounting in metal panels without derating the sensing gap. For non-flush applications the same sensor works, but the effective range remains 2 mm. Supply voltage spans 10 to 30 VDC, with a 1.5 kHz response frequency that suits moderate-speed part detection on conveyors or machine tools. The NPN-NO output pulls low when a target enters the sensing field, sinking current from the load. IP67 ingress protection and a -25 to 70°C operating temperature range cover washdown zones and unheated plant floors. The cable leads (2 m, factory-fitted) save a panel-side connector step for fixed installations.
