Technical Overview
The Omron E2E-C04N03-WC-B1 2M is a 4 mm cylindrical, unshielded inductive proximity sensor for ferrous-metal detection at a nominal 3 mm distance. It provides a DC three-wire PNP open-collector output in normally open mode, 100 mA maximum switching capacity, a 2 m oil-resistant PVC cable, and 10–30 VDC operation. Omron lists this exact model as selling and standard stock; the stainless-steel case has an IP67 rating.

Suggested applications
Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.
1. Compact fixture position detection
A small fixture may need a non-contact signal confirming that a ferrous pin or component has reached a defined position.
Potential use
The 4 mm unshielded head can be considered where mounting space is limited and the target can be positioned within the sensor's specified 4 mm sensing range.

2. Ferrous component presence sensing
Assembly and handling stations may require a discrete indication that a small steel component is present near a tooling point.
Potential use
The 2 kHz response and 10–30 VDC three-wire PNP output can suit fast discrete sensing when the actual target material, size, and mounting clearance are verified.
