The E2EX5C1182M is a DC 3-wire inductive proximity sensor designed for detecting ferrous metals. It is a shielded, M18 cylindrical model with a sensing distance of 5 mm. This sensor features an NPN normally open (NO) output, operates on a power supply of 12 to 24 VDC, and has a response frequency of 0.6 kHz. Housed in a nickel-plated brass body with an oil-resistant PBT sensing surface and an IP67 rating, it is suitable for use in harsh industrial environments, offering a wide operating temperature range from -40 to 85°C and built-in protection for load short-circuits, surges, and reverse polarity.
