Couldn't load pickup availability
Omron TL-Q5MC2-Z inductive Z probe for Voron-style bed probing. This B-stock, Omron-marked rectangular proximity switch is an NPN normally-closed inductive sensor with a 5 mm ±10% sensing distance, 10–30 VDC operating range, and pre-wired cable leads.
Why use this over a generic PL-08N-style probe?
- Compact rectangular body: 17 × 17 × 28 mm, useful where round barrel probes are awkward.
- Fast inductive detection: Omron lists 2 ms max. response time and 500 Hz response frequency for the TL-Q5MC series.
- Heat-resistant ABS body and IEC IP67 protection rating, with an operating range of -25°C to 70°C.
- Common Voron/V1/V2 bed-probing choice where an NPN NC inductive probe is expected.
Specifications
- Model / MPN: TL-Q5MC2-Z
- Sensor type: inductive proximity switch, unshielded rectangular Q-series body
- Output: NPN open collector, normally closed (NC)
- Sensing distance: 5 mm ±10%; set distance 0–4 mm
- Detects: ferrous metal; sensing distance is reduced on non-ferrous metals
- Standard sensing object: iron 15 × 15 × 1 mm
- Supply voltage: 12–24 VDC nominal, operating range 10–30 VDC
- Current consumption: 10 mA max. at 24 VDC
- Switching capacity: 50 mA max. at 30 VDC
- Cable: pre-wired 3-conductor cable; label wiring is brown +V, blue 0V, black output
Use and fitment
Use this as a metal bed / Z reference probe on compatible 3D-printer builds that call for an NPN NC inductive sensor, including Voron-style printers. If you are wiring a Voron-style probe circuit, the BAT85 diode is a common small companion part for protected probe-input wiring.
Gotchas
- This is an inductive probe: it senses metal, not glass, plastic, PEI, or magnetic sheets by themselves.
- It is NPN NC. Do not buy it for a PNP or normally-open wiring scheme unless your controller/config expects that output.
- B-stock means cosmetic/packaging condition may vary; function should match the TL-Q5MC2-Z use case.

Shipping:
US Shipping is via UPS or USPS. The way it is set up shows the least expensive options for standard, priority and express shipping. I can not take special requests for specific carriers at this time.
International shipping is mostly UPS, as I utilize Zonos/UPS integration to tally extremely accurate import and shipping costs.
I require a telephone and email with international orders and you must make yourself available to the carrier or your customs, should they require more information. If you are unreachable and the package is discarded or rerturned, I will not be responsible for rerturning your shipping cost.
If there is a problem with an international order, it is my choice to refund part or all of the order, or send a replacement.
Addresses are verified through Shopify, but the customer is still responsible for inputting their address in the correct format. Any returns or lost shipments, due to incorrectly addressed packages, are the responsibility of the customer.
