Technical Overview
The Omron E2E-C03SR8-WC-B1 2M is a shielded, 3 mm cylindrical inductive proximity sensor for ferrous-metal detection at a nominal 0.8 mm distance. It uses a DC three-wire PNP open-collector, normally open output with a 5 kHz response and a 2 m oil-resistant PVC cable. The sensor operates from 10–30 VDC and is rated IP67; Omron currently lists the exact model as selling and standard stock.

Suggested applications
Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.
1. Ferrous part presence detection
Assembly stations may need a compact non-contact signal when a steel component reaches a fixture or work position.
Potential use
The shielded 3 mm sensor can be mounted flush where the target is within its specified 0.8 mm sensing range; verify target dimensions and surrounding metal clearances.
3 mm diameter
0.8 mm range
PNP NO
IP67
2. Machine mechanism position confirmation
Small mechanisms can require a discrete position signal in environments exposed to oil or washdown splashes.
Potential use
A 2 m oil-resistant cable and IP67 enclosure support installation planning for these conditions, subject to the actual fluid, temperature and cable-routing requirements.
