BrandOmron
Model IdentifierTL-N20ME1 2M
Official Part NumberTL-N20ME1 2M

Technical Overview

The Omron TL-N20ME1 2M is an unshielded rectangular inductive proximity sensor with a 20 mm nominal sensing distance, DC three-wire NPN output and 2 m pre-wired cable. Its normal-open output is rated for up to 200 mA at 24 VDC, and the sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC. The sensor head measures 25 × 25.5 × 38.20 mm; the enclosure is rated IP67 and meets Omron's oil-proof internal standard. Omron listed this exact model as selling and standard-stock in its 2026-09-11 status record.

A 20 mm unshielded NPN inductive sensor for non-contact detection of ferrous targets.

Key Features

Suggested applications

Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.

1. Steel component presence detection

The sensor is rated for non-contact detection of ferrous metal at a nominal 20 mm distance.

Potential use

Position a ferrous target within the 0 to 16 mm setting distance and verify the response with the actual target size and orientation.

Ferrous metal 20 mm sensing NPN NO

2. Machine mechanism position confirmation

An NPN normally-open output can signal when a ferrous machine part enters the sensing zone.

Potential use

Connect the sensor to a compatible 10 to 30 VDC input and maintain the specified clearance from nearby metal and adjacent sensors.
