Omron E2B-M18KN16-M1-C2 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2B-M18KN16-M1-C2 is an M18 cylindrical unshielded proximity sensor rated for a 16 mm sensing distance and 0 to 12.8 mm setting range. Its short housing uses DC 3-wire NPN NC output through an M12 connector and works from 10 to 30 VDC. A 400 Hz response frequency is specified, together with a 200 mA max. control output at 30 VDC max. and a 2 V max. voltage drop. Ferrous metal is listed as the sensing object, using a 48 × 48 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Explore the E2B-M18KN16-M1-C2 within M18 NPN proximity sensors available from Omron Sensor Products.

The Omron E2B-M18KN16-M1-C2 Proximity Sensor has an M18 cylindrical unshielded sensing body with a 16 mm sensing distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting range, and short housing. DC 3-wire NPN NC switching is provided through an M12 connector, with an operating supply of 10 to 30 VDC. Its response frequency is 400 Hz. Control output is specified at 200 mA max. at 30 VDC max., while the voltage drop is limited to 2 V. The listed sensing object is ferrous metal, referenced against a 48 × 48 × 1 mm standard sensing object. A yellow operation indicator is provided, supported by reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection.
The E2B-M18KN16-M1-C2 is specified for both operation and storage from -25 to 70°C. Environmental protection is rated IP67 according to IEC 60529, with EMC according to EN60947-5-2. Construction information lists brass-nickel-plated components, PBT, and zinc-plated iron. The short M18 housing supports compact installation while retaining the stated 16 mm sensing range, NPN NC logic, and removable M12 connection. For an M18 shielded E2B model with an 8 mm sensing distance and the same NPN NC switching, see E2B-M18KS08-M1-C2.
