Omron E2A-M12KN08-WP-B1 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M12KN08-WP-B1 2M provides an 8 mm detection range from a cylindrical M12 unshielded sensing body built in a compact short-body format. The sensor uses DC 3-wire PNP switching with NO operation, a pre-wired 2 m cable, and a 12 to 24 VDC supply. Its setting distance is 0 to 6.4 mm and 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 indicates operation, while reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are specified. The E2A-M12KN08-WP-B1 2M belongs to M12 PNP proximity sensors from Omron sensing solutions.

The Omron E2A-M12KN08-WP-B1 2M Proximity Sensor uses a short cylindrical M12 body to provide an 8 mm unshielded sensing distance with a 0 to 6.4 mm setting range. Electrical switching is handled by a DC 3-wire PNP NO output supplied through a pre-wired 2 m cable. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and responds at 800 Hz. Control output is rated at 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max., with a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow LED gives visible switching indication. Output reverse-polarity protection, power-source reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection are specified.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M12KN08-WP-B1 cover -40 to 70°C, while storage extends from -40 to 85°C. Environmental specifications include IP67 according to IEC 60529, IP69K according to DIN 40050, and EMC according to EN60947-5-2. The short body reduces the mounting depth required inside machinery, while the unshielded arrangement provides the stated 8 mm sensing distance. Its fixed cable can be routed directly to machine controls without a detachable sensor connector. Brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing options and PBT components are listed. For a shielded M12 E2A model with 4 mm sensing distance and NPN NO switching, see E2A-M12LS04-M1-C1.
