Product Overview
The Omron TL-N10ME1 is the 10 mm-sensing variant of Omron's TL-N rectangular inductive proximity sensor family. manufactured by Omron Corporation. Hengyixin Automation ships this sensor from our Xiamen warehouse with a 30-day DOA return window and a datasheet PDF included in the box.
The 'rectangular' form factor — 30 × 30.5 × 52.5 mm ABS housing — is the right pick when an M18 cylindrical inductive sensor won't physically fit the installation (e.g., inside a tight fixture pocket or mounted flat against a moving part where the round barrel would be in the way) but the application doesn't need a flat capacitive sensor. The TL-N10ME1 ships pre-wired with a 2 m oil-resistant PVC cable and provides an NPN open-collector normally-open output.
The shielded TL-N12MD (12 mm range shielded) and TL-N7MD (7 mm range shielded) variants have a metal collar that localizes the field, allowing closer mounting but reducing the sensing range by ~50 %.

FAQ for TL-N10ME1
What's the difference between TL-N10ME1 and TL-M10ME1?
TL-N has a 30 × 30.5 × 52.5 mm rectangular housing (this SKU); TL-M has an M18 cylindrical housing. Both are DC 3-wire inductive proximity sensors with NPN output. The TL-N10ME1 is the right pick when the rectangular form factor fits a flat-mounting installation or tight fixture pocket; the TL-M10ME1 is the right pick when a cylindrical form factor is needed (e.g., through-hole bracket).
Is the TL-N10ME1 NPN output compatible with my Siemens S7 PLC?
Siemens S7-1200/1500 PLCs default to PNP sourcing inputs — in that case the TL-N10ME1 (NPN sinking output) is NOT directly compatible. You have two options: (1) swap to TL-N10MY1 (PNP sourcing output) — same form factor, PNP open-collector, sources current to the PLC input; (2) add a signal-inverter relay: connect TL-N10ME1's output to a 24 VDC relay coil, and use the relay's contact to drive the Siemens input.
What's the unshielded mounting difference on the TL-N10ME1?
The TL-N10ME1 is unshielded (non-flush) — meaning the magnetic field extends beyond the front face of the housing.
Can the TL-N10ME1 detect aluminum, brass, or copper targets?
The 10 mm sensing distance is specified for iron (SPCC / ST37). Non-ferrous materials reduce the sensing range: stainless steel (304) = ~85 % = 8.5 mm; aluminum = ~55 % = 5.5 mm; brass = ~55 % = 5.5 mm; copper = ~45 % = 4.5 mm.
