The E2EX4B1D8M1 is a shielded, DC 3-wire inductive proximity sensor from the E2E NEXT Series, designed for non-contact detection of ferrous metals. Part of the quadruple distance model lineup, it features a compact M8 body size with a 43 mm length and provides an extended 4 mm sensing distance. This sensor offers a PNP normally open (NO) output, connects via a standard M12 connector, and includes IO-Link (COM2) communication for advanced diagnostics and monitoring. Its enhanced sensing range and robust design make it ideal for industrial automation applications, reducing the risk of collision and enabling standardized, space-saving equipment design.
