Omron E2A-M18KN16-WP-B1 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18KN16-WP-B1 2M is an M18 unshielded inductive proximity sensor with a 16 mm sensing distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It uses a PNP output with NO operation, a pre-wired 2 m cable, and a 12 to 24 VDC supply. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, using a 48 × 48 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 400 Hz, current consumption is 10 mA max., and differential travel is 10% max. of sensing distance. A yellow operation indicator and IP67 protection are listed. The E2A-M18KN16-WP-B1 2M is included among M18 proximity sensors from Omron sensing products.

The Omron E2A-M18KN16-WP-B1 2M Proximity Sensor combines an M18 unshielded inductive sensing body with a 16 mm sensing distance, a 0 to 12.8 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It uses a PNP output with NO operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with a 48 × 48 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 400 Hz, current consumption is 10 mA max., and differential travel is 10% max. of sensing distance. A yellow operation LED is provided. Output reverse-polarity protection, power-source reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection are specified.
Environmental data for the E2A-M18KN16-WP-B1 covers -40 to 70°C during operation and -40 to 85°C during storage, with humidity from 35% to 95%. Temperature influence is ±10% max. of sensing distance at 23°C from -25 to 70°C and ±15% max. from -40 to 70°C. Insulation resistance is 50 MΩ min. at 500 VDC, dielectric strength is 1,000 VAC for 1 minute, and voltage influence is ±1% max. within rated voltage ±15%. The brass body carries IP67 protection. For another pre-wired PNP NO E2A sensor with an M30 shielded body and 15 mm sensing distance, see E2A-M30KS15-WP-B1 2M.
