Omron E2A-M18KS08-M1-B2 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18KS08-M1-B2 is configured for 8 mm metal detection in an M18 short-body format with shielded inductive sensing. It delivers a DC 3-wire PNP output with NC operation through a 4-pin M12 connector and accepts a 12 to 24 VDC power supply. The setting distance is 0 to 6.4 mm and response frequency reaches 500 Hz. Control output is specified at 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max., with a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow status LED and electrical protection against reverse polarity, surge, and short circuit are provided. The E2A-M18KS08-M1-B2 sits within M18 shielded proximity sensors from Omron industrial sensing technology.

The Omron E2A-M18KS08-M1-B2 Proximity Sensor combines an M18 cylindrical housing with shielded sensing, an 8 mm detection range, and a 0 to 6.4 mm setting distance. Its short-body construction is paired with DC 3-wire PNP NC switching through a 4-pin M12 connector. The operating supply is 12 to 24 VDC and response frequency is 500 Hz. Control output is rated at 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow operation LED is provided, together with output reverse-polarity protection, power-source reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M18KS08-M1-B2 range from -40 to 70°C, while storage extends from -40 to 85°C. IP67 according to IEC 60529, IP69K according to DIN 40050, and EMC according to EN60947-5-2 are listed. The shielded configuration permits installation near surrounding metal, while the short M18 body limits the amount of rear mounting space required. Its PNP NC output supplies a sourcing normally closed signal for compatible control inputs, and the connector allows cable removal without replacing the sensor body. For a smaller E2A model using an M8 body, 4 mm sensing distance, and NPN NO switching, see E2A-S08LN04-M3-C1.
