Omron E2A-M18LN16-M5-C2 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18LN16-M5-C2 is an M18 long-body inductive proximity sensor specified with an unshielded sensing face and a 16 mm sensing distance. Its setting range extends from 0 to 12.8 mm, while the DC 3-wire NPN output operates in normally closed mode. Wiring is through a 3-pin M8 connector, and the operating supply is 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is rated at 400 Hz. The output handles 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop. Reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are specified together with a yellow operation LED. Browse the E2A-M18LN16-M5-C2 among NC proximity sensors from Omron Sensor Products.

The Omron E2A-M18LN16-M5-C2 Proximity Sensor is an M18 cylindrical unshielded inductive model with a 16 mm sensing distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting range, and long-body housing. Its DC 3-wire NPN output works in normally closed mode and connects through a 3-pin M8 connector. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC with a response frequency of 400 Hz. Output capacity is rated at 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max., and voltage drop is limited to 2 V. A yellow LED indicates operation. Circuit protection includes output reverse polarity, power-source reverse polarity, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection. This configuration is suited to M18 NPN NC proximity sensor installations using detachable M8 wiring.
Environmental ratings for the E2A-M18LN16-M5-C2 cover -40 to 70°C operation and -40 to 85°C storage. IP67 according to IEC 60529 and IP69K according to DIN 40050 are specified, along with EMC conformity to EN60947-5-2. Housing construction is available in brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel versions with PBT components. The unshielded sensing face is specified for 16 mm detection, while its long threaded body supports mounting adjustment. For another M18 E2A model with 16 mm sensing distance and normally closed operation using an M12 connector and PNP output, see E2A-M18LN16-M1-B2.
