Omron E2A-M18KS08-M1-C1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18KS08-M1-C1 is an M18 shielded inductive proximity sensor with an 8 mm sensing distance, 0 to 6.4 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It uses an NPN output with NO operation through an M12 connector and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with a 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 500 Hz, current consumption is 10 mA max., and differential travel is 10% max. of sensing distance. A yellow operation LED and IP67 protection are specified. The E2A-M18KS08-M1-C1 is listed under M18 proximity sensors from Omron industrial sensors.

The Omron E2A-M18KS08-M1-C1 Proximity Sensor uses an M18 shielded inductive sensing body with an 8 mm sensing distance, a 0 to 6.4 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. Its NPN output operates in NO mode through an M12 connector on a 12 to 24 VDC supply. Ferrous metal is specified as the detectable object, with a 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 500 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 included in the electrical protection.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M18KS08-M1-C1 cover -40 to 70°C, while storage extends from -40 to 85°C with humidity from 35% to 95%. Temperature influence is ±10% max. 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%. Brass is listed for the body, with IP67 protection specified. For another NPN NO E2A model with an 8 mm sensing distance and M12 connector but an M12 unshielded body, see E2A-M12KN08-M1-C1.
