Technical Overview
The Omron E2S-Q23 1M is a super-compact rectangular inductive proximity sensor with a front-sensing face and 2.5 mm ±15% sensing distance. It uses dc 3-wire npn open-collector, no; 50 ma max. at 30 vdc max., a 1 m pre-wired cable and IP67 protection. The current manufacturer catalog lists this model configuration and technical data but does not state present supply status, recorded as Unknown.

Suggested applications
Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.
1. Compact metal part detection
A constrained fixture may need to sense a small iron component using a front-facing target approach.
Potential use
The 2.5 mm inductive sensing distance can detect a suitable ferrous target in a small sensor footprint; confirm installation clearance, target size and switching margin.
