Omron E2A-M18KS08-M5-B2 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18KS08-M5-B2 combines an M18 cylindrical shielded body with an 8 mm inductive sensing distance, 0 to 6.4 mm setting range, and short-body design. It provides DC 3-wire PNP NC output through a 3-pin M8 connector and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 500 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, while output reverse-polarity, power-source reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are specified. The E2A-M18KS08-M5-B2 belongs to the M18 PNP sensor range available through Omron Industrial Sensors.

The Omron E2A-M18KS08-M5-B2 Proximity Sensor uses an M18 cylindrical shielded inductive body with an 8 mm sensing distance, 0 to 6.4 mm setting range, and short-body construction. It provides DC 3-wire PNP NC switching through a 3-pin M8 connector and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 500 Hz. Control output is rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow LED indicates operation, while output reverse-polarity, power-source reverse-polarity, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection are specified. The shielded format and PNP output fit Omron M18 PNP proximity sensor applications requiring compact detachable connector wiring.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M18KS08-M5-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 listed. Brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing options and PBT components are included. The short body limits rear installation depth, while shielded sensing supports placement close to surrounding metal. Its 3-pin M8 connector allows convenient cable removal during maintenance. For an M18 E2A alternative with a longer 16 mm sensing distance and 4-pin M8 connector, see E2A-M18LN16-M3-B2.
