Omron E2A-M18LN16-M3-C1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18LN16-M3-C1 has an M18 unshielded cylindrical body for inductive metal detection at a sensing distance of 16 mm. The specified setting range is 0 to 12.8 mm, and its long housing uses DC 3-wire NPN NO switching with a 4-pin M8 connector. Power supply requirements are 12 to 24 VDC, with a response frequency of 400 Hz. The output is rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. and has a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow operation indicator and circuit protection against reverse polarity, surge, and short circuit are included.

The Omron E2A-M18LN16-M3-C1 Proximity Sensor has an M18 cylindrical unshielded body with a 16 mm inductive sensing distance and a 0 to 12.8 mm setting range. Its long housing is configured with DC 3-wire NPN normally open switching through a 4-pin M8 connector. Supply voltage is 12 to 24 VDC, and the specified response frequency is 400 Hz. The control output is rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max., while voltage drop is limited to 2 V. A yellow operation LED shows switching status. Output reverse-polarity protection, power-source reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection are included for the electrical circuit. This configuration suits M18 NPN proximity sensor installations requiring a long body and removable connector.
The E2A-M18LN16-M3-C1 is specified for operation from -40 to 70°C and storage from -40 to 85°C. Environmental protection includes IP67 under IEC 60529 and IP69K under DIN 40050, with EMC according to EN60947-5-2. Brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing options and PBT components are listed in the construction specification. Its unshielded sensing face supports 16 mm metal detection, while the M8 4-pin connection allows detachable field wiring. For the same M18 size, 16 mm sensing range, NPN NO output, and long-body format using a fixed 2 m cable, see E2A-M18LN16-WP-C1 2M.
