Product Description

​The Omron TL-W5MC1 is a flat, unshielded inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of ferrous metals. It offers a sensing distance of 5 mm and operates on a 12 to 24 VDC power supply with a 3-wire NPN open collector output. The sensor's compact dimensions (18 mm x 10 mm x 30.5 mm) and IP67-rated housing make it suitable for space-constrained applications requiring reliable metal detection.
