Omron Inductive Proximity Sensor M12 x 1 Threaded Barrel, 4mm Detection, PNP Output, IP67/IP69K, Brass, 30V E2E-X4B1T12 2M

The Omron E2E-X4B1T12 2M is an industrial-grade inductive proximity sensor designed for rapid and reliable detection of metallic objects in automated production lines, packaging machinery, robotics, and other industrial environments. It employs inductive sensing technology to provide accurate, non-contact detection when a metallic target is within 4mm of the sensor face.

This model features a robust threaded barrel (M12 x 1) that enables flush mounting in tight control panels and machinery. Its compact size, with a length of 47.1mm and width of 12mm, makes it highly adaptable for applications where installation space is limited. The integrated 2m cable allows for convenient connection to controllers or PLC systems without the need for additional connectors or adapters.

Rated for IP67, IP67G, and IP69K, the E2E-X4B1T12 2M can withstand washdowns, exposure to dust or oil, and direct water jets, ensuring longevity and consistent performance even in harsh factory or food processing environments. The shielded construction and quasi-flush design minimize the risk of signal interference and mechanical damage from nearby equipment.

The sensor operates using PNP logic and supplies a maximum switching current of 16mA, appropriate for a range of modern automation electronics. Its 30V DC maximum supply voltage compatibility, short circuit protection, and reverse polarity safeguard the device against incorrect wiring and power anomalies. The housing is manufactured from nickel-plated brass, providing mechanical durability and resilience to industrial oils and contaminants.

With a maximum switching frequency of 1kHz, the E2E-X4B1T12 2M is suitable for fast-moving automated systems. Its operating temperature range extends from -25°C to 70°C, ensuring reliable operation in variable climates and throughout demanding production cycles. The product meets CE standards for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

Common use cases include object detection and positioning on conveyor systems, part presence sensing in packaging equipment, and component verification in robotic assembly. It is an ideal solution for integrating into industrial, manufacturing, and machinery control projects demanding reliable proximity sensing.
