Omron E2A-M12KN08-M1-C2 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M12KN08-M1-C2 combines an M12 cylindrical unshielded body with an 8 mm inductive sensing distance, 0 to 6.4 mm setting range, and short-body design. It uses DC 3-wire NPN NC output through an M12 connector and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 800 Hz, while control output is rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow operation LED is provided together with output reverse-polarity, supply reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection. The E2A-M12KN08-M1-C2 is included among M12 NPN proximity sensors offered across Omron automation products.

The Omron E2A-M12KN08-M1-C2 Proximity Sensor uses a cylindrical M12 unshielded inductive sensing body with an 8 mm sensing distance, 0 to 6.4 mm setting range, and short-body construction. It provides DC 3-wire NPN output with NC operation through an M12 connector and works from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 800 Hz, while control output is rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow operation indicator is specified along with output reverse-polarity, power-source reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection. This combination suits Omron M12 NPN proximity sensor applications requiring normally closed switching and reduced rear mounting depth.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M12KN08-M1-C2 cover -40 to 70°C, while storage extends from -40 to 85°C. IP67 according to IEC 60529, IP69K according to DIN 40050, and EMC according to EN60947-5-2 are listed. Brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing options and PBT components are included in the construction details. The unshielded arrangement provides the stated 8 mm sensing range, while the short body supports compact machine installation. Detachable connector wiring also simplifies sensor replacement during servicing. For a smaller E2A option with an M8 body, 2 mm sensing distance, and M12 connector, see E2A-S08KS02-M1-C2.
