Overview

The E2E-C03SR8-WC-C1 2M is an ultra-compact inductive proximity sensor featuring a 3mm diameter cylindrical stainless steel housing. This shielded sensor provides a 0.8mm sensing distance with an NPN normally open output, operating on a wide 10V to 30V DC supply range. Its small form factor and IP67 rating make it suitable for high-density machinery where space for traditional sensors is unavailable.

Why Choose This Part

The 3mm miniature housing allows for installation in extremely tight spaces while maintaining industrial-grade durability with its stainless steel body. It features a visible LED indicator for easy alignment and troubleshooting, along with a high protection rating of IP67 for operation in harsh, oily environments.

Applications

Precision Position Detection
Ideal for detecting the home position or limit travel of small mechanical components in automated assembly lines.
Robotic End-Effectors
Integration into small-scale robotic grippers to confirm workpiece presence without physical contact.
High-Speed Counting
Monitoring gear tooth rotation or small metal part throughput in high-speed industrial processes.

Getting Started

Connect the 3-wire cable leads to a 10-30V DC power source, ensuring the NPN output is wired with an appropriate pull-up resistor or connected to a compatible PLC input card. Ensure the sensor is mounted securely using the appropriate bracket to maintain the 0.8mm sensing gap for reliable operation.

Also Consider

E2E-C03SR8-WC-B1 2M Omron Automation and Safety - Select this version if your control system requires a PNP normally open output instead of NPN.
E2E-C04S12-WC-C1 2M Omron Automation and Safety - A slightly larger 4mm diameter version that provides an increased sensing distance of 1.2mm.
