Omron E2E-X4C112-M1TJ 0.3M Inductive Proximity Sensor

Technical Description

The Omron E2E-X4C112-M1TJ 0.3M Inductive Proximity Sensor is engineered for reliable detection of metallic targets in industrial automation systems. Unlike fixed-cable models, this version incorporates a SmartClick M12 connector with a short 0.3-meter pigtail cable, simplifying installation and maintenance procedures in modular machine designs.

The sensor belongs to the E2E NEXT family and is intended for applications requiring stable proximity detection under demanding environmental conditions. Its shielded sensing construction enables controlled detection zones while maintaining installation flexibility in compact equipment.

Working Principle

The Omron E2E-X4C112-M1TJ 0.3M Inductive Proximity Sensor generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field at the sensing face. When a conductive metal target enters this field, eddy currents are induced in the object.

The resulting energy change is monitored by the sensor electronics. Once the target reaches the specified sensing range, the output state changes, allowing PLCs, controllers, and industrial I/O systems to receive a detection signal.

This contactless operating principle eliminates mechanical wear and supports long-term performance in repetitive industrial processes.
