Omron E2A-M12LN08-M5-B1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M12LN08-M5-B1 combines an M12 cylindrical unshielded sensing body with an 8 mm detection distance, 0 to 6.4 mm setting range, and long-body construction. It uses 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 indicates operation, with output reverse-polarity, power-source reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection specified. The E2A-M12LN08-M5-B1 belongs to the M12 PNP inductive sensor range offered across Omron automation products.

The Omron E2A-M12LN08-M5-B1 Proximity Sensor combines an M12 cylindrical unshielded inductive sensing body with an 8 mm sensing distance, 0 to 6.4 mm setting range, and long-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, while control output is rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow operation indicator 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 extended mounting length and normally open switching.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M12LN08-M5-B1 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 data. The unshielded format provides the stated 8 mm range, while the long threaded body allows additional positioning adjustment. Its compact M8 connector supports detachable field wiring. For another E2A model using 4 mm sensing, dual NO and NC switching, and an M12 connector, see E2A-M12KS04-M1-B3.
