Omron E2A-M12KN08-WP-B2 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M12KN08-WP-B2 2M is an M12 unshielded inductive proximity sensor offering an 8 mm sensing distance and 0 to 6.4 mm setting range in a short-body construction. It uses DC 3-wire PNP NC switching through a pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 800 Hz, with control output rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. and a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow operation LED is specified together with output reverse-polarity, supply reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection. The E2A-M12KN08-WP-B2 2M belongs to the M12 PNP sensor range from Omron automation products.

The Omron E2A-M12KN08-WP-B2 2M Proximity Sensor uses an M12 cylindrical 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 PNP NC switching through a pre-wired 2 m cable 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, power-source reverse-polarity, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection. These specifications suit Omron M12 PNP proximity sensor applications requiring normally closed operation and direct cable wiring.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M12KN08-WP-B2 extend from -40 to 70°C, while storage covers -40 to 85°C. IP67 according to IEC 60529, IP69K according to DIN 40050, and EMC according to EN60947-5-2 are specified. Brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing options, PBT, and PVC cable construction are included in the material data. The unshielded sensing arrangement provides the stated 8 mm detection range, while the short body limits rear mounting depth. Its fixed cable supports direct routing to machine controls. For a connector-based M12 E2A model with the same 8 mm sensing distance and NPN NC output, see E2A-M12KN08-M1-C2.
