Omron E2A-M18KN16-WP-B2 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18KN16-WP-B2 2M combines an M18 unshielded inductive body with a 16 mm sensing distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting range, and short-body construction. It uses DC 3-wire PNP NC switching through a pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 400 Hz, with control output rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. and a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow LED indicates operation, while output reverse-polarity, supply reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are included. The E2A-M18KN16-WP-B2 2M belongs to the 16 mm proximity sensor range available through Omron Industrial Sensors.

The Omron E2A-M18KN16-WP-B2 2M Proximity Sensor uses an M18 cylindrical unshielded inductive body with a 16 mm sensing distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting range, and short-body construction. It provides DC 3-wire PNP NC output through a pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 400 Hz, while control output is rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow operation indicator is included with output reverse-polarity, supply reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection. The direct cable connection and extended detection range suit Omron M18 proximity sensor applications requiring PNP NC operation.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M18KN16-WP-B2 extend from -40 to 70°C, while storage covers -40 to 85°C. IP67 according to IEC 60529, IP69K according to DIN 40050, and EMC according to EN60947-5-3 are specified. Brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing options, PBT components, and PVC cable construction are listed. The unshielded sensing format supports the stated 16 mm range, while the short body helps reduce rear mounting depth. Its fixed cable provides direct routing to machine control wiring. For a larger E2A sensor with an M30 body, 30 mm sensing distance, NPN switching, and a pre-wired 2 m cable, see E2A-M30LN30-WP-C2 2M.
