Product details

Omron E2KC25ME1 is a cylindrical capacitive proximity sensor from the E2K-C series with adjustable sensitivity. It provides a 25 mm unshielded sensing range (maximum) and outputs NPN NO at 200 mA load from a 10-30 V DC supply. The IP66 and NEMA 4/12/13 enclosure means it holds up to washdown and dusty plant floors — useful for level detection in hoppers or non-contact presence on packaging lines.

3-wire prewired cable, 2 m length, bare ends. Unshielded sensing face — the capacitive field extends through non-metallic tank walls or covers, so you don't have to cut a flush mounting hole. Ground the shield at the panel end only. The sensitivity adjustment driver (included) lets you tune the trigger point for non-conductive targets like plastic, glass, or wood. At 70 Hz switching frequency, it keeps up with moderate-speed conveyor counting or level fills.

Frequently asked questions

What is the series and what key features does it have?

It belongs to the Omron E2K-C series. The key feature is adjustable sensitivity, allowing fine-tuning for target materials.

Can I drop the E2KC25ME1 into a panel designed for the E2K-C25MY1?

No. The MY1 is an AC 2-wire SCR output; the ME1 is a DC 3-wire NPN. Mechanical dimensions match (34 mm diameter, 82 mm height) but the control circuit is different. You would need a separate DC supply and rewire the output.

What compliance documentation is available for this sensor?

It carries CCC, CE, and cULus approvals. The enclosure meets IP66 and NEMA 1, 4, 12, 13 ratings.
