Omron TL-N5ME2 2M is an unshielded 5 mm DC 3-wire NPN NC proximity sensor with a 2 m cable and IP67 protection.
The Omron TL-N5ME2 2M is an unshielded rectangular inductive proximity sensor with a 5 mm nominal sensing distance, DC 3-wire NPN normally-closed output and a 2 m pre-wired cable. It operates from 10 to 30 VDC (rated 12 to 24 VDC) and detects ferrous metal targets; non-ferrous targets reduce sensing range. The sensing head measures 25 x 25.5 x 38.5 mm. Omron lists IEC IP67 protection and its internal oil-proof standard. Omron listed this exact model as selling and standard-stock on 2026-10-05, with stock indicator -.

Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.
The sensor detects ferrous metal at a nominal 5 mm distance.
Position the ferrous target within the 0 to 4 mm setting distance and verify detection with its actual size and orientation.
The DC 3-wire NPN NC output can signal a machine part entering or leaving the sensing zone.
Connect to a compatible 10 to 30 VDC input and follow Omron clearance recommendations for nearby metal and adjacent sensors.
