Omron E2A-M12LS04-M1-C1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M12LS04-M1-C1 is a cylindrical M12 shielded inductive proximity sensor with a 4 mm sensing distance, 0 to 3.2 mm setting distance, and long-body design. It uses a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation through a 4-pin M12 connector and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 1,000 Hz, and 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 reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are specified. The E2A-M12LS04-M1-C1 is listed among 4 mm inductive proximity sensors from Omron industrial automation products for machine sensing applications.

The Omron E2A-M12LS04-M1-C1 Proximity Sensor combines an M12 cylindrical shielded inductive body with a 4 mm sensing distance, 0 to 3.2 mm setting distance, and long-body construction. It uses a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation through a 4-pin M12 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 protection, power-source reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M12LS04-M1-C1 cover -40 to 70°C, while storage extends from -40 to 85°C. Protection ratings include IP67 according to IEC 60529, IP69K according to DIN 40050, and EMC according to EN60947-5-2. The shielded sensing arrangement supports mounting close to surrounding metal, while the long M12 housing offers additional threaded length for accurate sensor positioning. The detachable connector simplifies field wiring and replacement during maintenance. Brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing options and PBT components are listed for this E2A construction. For another long-body E2A sensor with M18 construction and dual PNP output, see E2A-M18LS08-M1-B3.
