Omron E2A-M18KN16-M5-B2 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18KN16-M5-B2 uses an M18 cylindrical unshielded sensing body with a 16 mm inductive detection distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting range, and compact short-body format. It provides DC 3-wire PNP NC output through a 3-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 operation indicator and reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are specified.

The Omron E2A-M18KN16-M5-B2 Proximity Sensor combines an M18 cylindrical unshielded inductive body with a 16 mm sensing distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting range, and short-body construction. It uses DC 3-wire PNP NC switching through a 3-pin M8 connector and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 400 Hz. 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, power-source reverse-polarity, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection are specified. This configuration fits Omron M18 PNP proximity sensor installations requiring extended sensing distance with a compact three-pin connector.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M18KN16-M5-B2 cover -40 to 70°C, while storage extends from -40 to 85°C. Environmental ratings include IP67 according to IEC 60529, IP69K according to DIN 40050, and EMC according to EN60947-5-3. Brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing options and PBT are included in the material specification. The unshielded sensing arrangement provides the stated 16 mm range, while the short body reduces required mounting depth. The M8 connector allows detachable cabling during service. For a larger M30 alternative with a 15 mm sensing distance, NPN dual output, and M12 connector, see E2A-M30KS15-M1-C3.
