Omron E2A-M12KS04-M5-C1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M12KS04-M5-C1 is an M12 shielded inductive sensor designed for a 4 mm sensing distance and 0 to 3.2 mm setting range in a short-body format. It provides DC 3-wire NPN NO output through a 3-pin M8 connector and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 1,000 Hz, while control output is rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow LED indicates operation, and output reverse-polarity, supply reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are included. The E2A-M12KS04-M5-C1 appears within the M12 shielded sensor range offered by Omron industrial products.

The Omron E2A-M12KS04-M5-C1 Proximity Sensor uses an M12 cylindrical shielded inductive body with a 4 mm sensing distance, 0 to 3.2 mm setting range, and compact short-body construction. It provides DC 3-wire NPN NO switching through a 3-pin M8 connector and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 1,000 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 specified together with output reverse-polarity, power-source reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection. The configuration fits Omron M12 shielded proximity sensor applications requiring NPN normally open switching with a compact connector interface.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M12KS04-M5-C1 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 material details. Shielded sensing supports mounting close to surrounding metal, while the short body helps where rear installation space is restricted. Its 3-pin M8 connector enables detachable cable connection. For an E2A model with an 8 mm sensing distance, NC operation, and 4-pin M8 connector, see E2A-M12LN08-M3-C2.
