Omron E2B-M12KN08-WP-C2 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2B-M12KN08-WP-C2 2M is an M12 unshielded inductive proximity sensor with an 8 mm sensing distance, 0 to 6.4 mm setting distance, and compact short-body design. It provides a DC 3-wire NPN output with NC operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable and works from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified sensing target, paired with a 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Its response frequency is 800 Hz, and the control output is rated 200 mA max. at 30 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop. The E2B-M12KN08-WP-C2 2M forms part of the 8 mm inductive proximity sensor range from Omron automation sensors.

The Omron E2B-M12KN08-WP-C2 2M Proximity Sensor combines an M12 cylindrical unshielded sensing body with an 8 mm inductive detection range and 0 to 6.4 mm setting distance. The short-body sensor provides DC 3-wire NPN output with NC operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable and works from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detection material, with a 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Its response frequency is 800 Hz, while control output is rated 200 mA max. at 30 VDC max. with 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow operation LED is provided together with output reverse-polarity, power-source reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection.
Operating and storage conditions for the E2B-M12KN08-WP-C2 cover -25 to 70°C, and IP67 protection according to IEC 60529 and EMC compliance according to EN60947-5-2 are specified. Its unshielded sensing arrangement provides the stated 8 mm range, while the compact body reduces required mounting depth. NPN NC switching is suitable where a sinking normally closed sensor output is required in the control circuit. The fixed 2 m cable also allows direct machine wiring. For an M18 unshielded NPN sensor with a longer 16 mm sensing range and M12 connector, see E2B-M18KN16-M1-C2.
