Omron E2B-M12KN08-M1-C1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2B-M12KN08-M1-C1 is a cylindrical M12 unshielded inductive proximity sensor with an 8 mm sensing distance, a 0 to 6.4 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It provides a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation through an M12 connector and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with a 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 800 Hz, control output is rated 200 mA max. at 30 VDC max., and voltage drop is 2 V max. A yellow LED indicates operation, with electrical protection circuits also specified. The E2B-M12KN08-M1-C1 is included among M12 proximity sensors from Omron industrial sensors.

The Omron E2B-M12KN08-M1-C1 Proximity Sensor uses a cylindrical M12 unshielded inductive sensing body with an 8 mm sensing distance, a 0 to 6.4 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It provides a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation through an M12 connector and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with a 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 800 Hz. Control output is rated 200 mA max. at 30 VDC max., with a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow operation indicator is provided together with output reverse-polarity protection, power-source reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection.
Operating and storage conditions for the E2B-M12KN08-M1-C1 are -25 to 70°C. IP67 according to IEC 60529 and EMC according to EN60947-5-2 are listed. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and the standard 4 mm diameter PVC cable specification are included in the material data. The M12 short-body arrangement combines unshielded 8 mm sensing with NPN NO switching and connector termination. Ferrous metal is the stated target for the listed sensing data. For another M12 E2B model with the same 8 mm unshielded sensing distance but NC operation and a pre-wired 2 m cable, see E2B-M12KN08-WP-C2 2M.
