Omron E2A-M18LN16-M5-B1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18LN16-M5-B1 is designed with an M18 cylindrical unshielded sensing body, 16 mm inductive sensing distance, and 0 to 12.8 mm setting range. The long-body construction uses DC 3-wire PNP NO output and a 3-pin M8 connector for detachable wiring. It operates from 12 to 24 VDC and has a 400 Hz response frequency. Control output is specified at 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max., with voltage drop limited to 2 V. A yellow LED indicates operation, while reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are built into the circuit.

The Omron E2A-M18LN16-M5-B1 Proximity Sensor is built with an M18 cylindrical unshielded inductive sensing face rated for 16 mm detection. Its long body has a 0 to 12.8 mm setting range and uses DC 3-wire PNP normally open switching. Connection is through a 3-pin M8 connector, while the operating supply range is 12 to 24 VDC. A 400 Hz response frequency supports repeated target detection in automated machinery. The control output is specified at 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. with a 2 V maximum voltage drop. A yellow LED indicates output status. Reverse-polarity safeguards, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection are specified for the sensor circuitry.
Temperature ratings cover -40 to 70°C during operation and -40 to 85°C in storage. The E2A-M18LN16-M5-B1 has IP67 protection according to IEC 60529 and IP69K according to DIN 40050, with EMC specified under EN60947-5-2. Construction data lists brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing options along with PBT components. Its 3-pin M8 connection distinguishes this version from M12 connector and pre-wired models while retaining the 16 mm sensing range and long M18 body. For a smaller E2A sensor with an M8 body, 2 mm sensing distance, and pre-wired 2 m cable, see E2A-S08LS02-WP-B1 2M.
