Omron E2A-M12KN08-M5-B1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M12KN08-M5-B1 uses an M12 cylindrical unshielded sensing format with an 8 mm detection distance, 0 to 6.4 mm setting range, and compact short body. It provides DC 3-wire PNP NO switching through a 3-pin M8 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 LED shows switching status, and reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are specified.

The Omron E2A-M12KN08-M5-B1 Proximity Sensor combines an M12 cylindrical unshielded inductive body with an 8 mm sensing distance, 0 to 6.4 mm setting range, and short-body construction. It provides DC 3-wire PNP NO switching through a 3-pin M8 connector and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 800 Hz. Control output is rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow LED provides operation indication, while output reverse-polarity, supply reverse-polarity, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection are specified. The short M12 housing and PNP output suit Omron M12 proximity sensor applications requiring compact connector-based installation.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M12KN08-M5-B1 extend from -40 to 70°C, while storage is specified from -40 to 85°C. Environmental ratings include IP67 according to IEC 60529, IP69K according to DIN 40050, and EMC according to EN60947-5-2. Brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing options and PBT components are listed. The unshielded configuration provides an 8 mm sensing distance, while the M8 connector offers detachable field wiring in a compact format. For a larger E2A alternative using an M18 body, 16 mm sensing distance, NC operation, and M12 connector, see E2A-M18LN16-M1-B2.
