Omron E2KQ-X10ME1 2M is a capacitive proximity sensor in an M18 threaded barrel, unshielded, sensing both conductors and dielectrics through a fluoride resin face. It switches NPN normally open, rated for 100 mA, with a sensing distance of 10 mm (adjustable 6 to 10 mm via the sensitivity adjuster). Supply range is 12 to 24 VDC (ripple 10% max), with reverse polarity and surge protection built in. Response frequency is 35 Hz, suitable for moderate-speed part detection. Current consumption runs 15 mA max. Rated IP66 with an additional oil-proof designation — the case, sensing face, and clamping nuts are all fluoride resin, so this sensor holds up in coolant mist and washdown zones. Operating temperature spans -10 to 55 °C.

Frequently asked questions
What type of sensor is the E2KQ-X10ME1 2M?
It is a capacitive type, unshielded, with a cylinder shape and screw mounting — M18 threaded barrel.
What are the key ratings of the E2KQ-X10ME1 2M?
Sensing distance: 10 mm, output: NPN normally open, 100 mA max, supply: 12 to 24 VDC, IP66, oil-proof, response frequency: 35 Hz.
Will the E2KQ-X10ME1 2M directly replace an E2K-L26MC1 2M?
No — the E2K-L26MC1 is a liquid level sensor designed for pipe clamp mounting; the E2KQ-X10ME1 is a barrel-style capacitive proximity sensor. Different form factor, different application.
