Omron E2A-M18KN16-M3-B1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18KN16-M3-B1 uses an M18 cylindrical unshielded sensing body with a 16 mm inductive detection distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting range, and short-body design. It provides DC 3-wire PNP NO switching through a 4-pin M8 connector and works from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 400 Hz, with control output rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. and a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow LED indicates operation, while output reverse-polarity, supply reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are specified.

The Omron E2A-M18KN16-M3-B1 Proximity Sensor uses a cylindrical M18 unshielded inductive body with a 16 mm sensing distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting range, and short-body construction. It provides DC 3-wire PNP NO output through a 4-pin M8 connector and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 400 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, while output reverse-polarity, supply reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are specified. The extended sensing distance and PNP output suit Omron M18 proximity sensor applications requiring normally open switching and compact connector wiring.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M18KN16-M3-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 EN60947-5-3 are listed. Brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing options and PBT components are included in the construction data. The unshielded format provides a 16 mm sensing range, while short-body construction reduces required mounting depth. Its 4-pin M8 connector supports detachable field cabling. For an M12 E2A alternative with 4 mm sensing distance, NO and NC switching, and an M12 connector, see E2A-M12LS04-M1-B3.
