Omron E2A-M18KN16-WP-C1 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18KN16-WP-C1 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 provides a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation 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 LED and protection against reverse polarity, surge, and short circuits are specified. The E2A-M18KN16-WP-C1 2M is listed among cable-type M18 proximity sensors from Omron industrial sensing solutions.

The Omron E2A-M18KN16-WP-C1 2M Proximity Sensor uses an M18 cylindrical unshielded inductive sensing body with a 16 mm sensing distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It provides a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation 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 LED indicates operation, with output reverse-polarity protection, power-source reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection specified.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M18KN16-WP-C1 cover -40 to 70°C, while storage extends from -40 to 85°C. The sensor is rated IP67 according to IEC 60529 and IP69K according to DIN 40050, with EMC specified to EN60947-5-3. The unshielded sensing face provides the stated 16 mm range, while the short body helps where rear installation depth is limited. The fixed 2 m cable supports direct machine wiring. Brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing options, PBT components, and PVC cabling are listed for this sensor family. For an M18 E2A cable model with shielded 8 mm sensing and NC operation, see E2A-M18LS08-WP-C2 2M.
