Omron E2B-M12KN08-WP-B2 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2B-M12KN08-WP-B2 2M is a cylindrical M12 unshielded inductive proximity sensor with an 8 mm sensing distance, 0 to 6.4 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It uses a DC 3-wire PNP output with NC operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable 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, while control output is rated 200 mA max. at 30 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop. The E2B-M12KN08-WP-B2 2M is included among M12 unshielded proximity sensors from Omron industrial sensing products.

The Omron E2B-M12KN08-WP-B2 2M Proximity Sensor uses a cylindrical M12 unshielded inductive sensing body with an 8 mm sensing distance, 0 to 6.4 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It provides a DC 3-wire PNP output with NC operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, paired with a 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 800 Hz. The control output is rated 200 mA max. at 30 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop, while a yellow LED indicates sensor operation. Output reverse-polarity protection, power-source reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection are specified.
Operating and storage conditions for the E2B-M12KN08-WP-B2 cover -25 to 70°C, while IP67 according to IEC 60529 and EMC according to EN60947-5-2 are specified for industrial installation. The short M12 housing suits mounting points where rear installation depth is limited, while the unshielded design provides the stated 8 mm sensing distance for ferrous-metal detection. The pre-wired cable supports direct connection to machine control circuits without a separate sensor connector. For the same M12 unshielded 8 mm sensing format with NPN NC switching, see E2B-M12KN08-WP-C2 2M.
