Omron E2A-M18KN16-WP-C2 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18KN16-WP-C2 2M is an M18 cylindrical unshielded inductive sensor providing a 16 mm sensing distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting range, and short-body design. It provides DC 3-wire NPN NC output through a pre-wired 2 m cable 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 LED is specified together with output reverse-polarity, supply reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection.

The Omron E2A-M18KN16-WP-C2 2M Proximity Sensor uses a cylindrical M18 unshielded inductive sensing body with a 16 mm sensing distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting range, and short-body design. It provides DC 3-wire NPN NC switching through a pre-wired 2 m cable 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 combination suits Omron M18 NPN proximity sensor applications requiring normally closed operation and direct cable installation.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M18KN16-WP-C2 extend from -40 to 70°C, while storage covers -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, PBT, and PVC cable construction are included. The unshielded configuration provides the stated 16 mm sensing distance, while short-body construction limits installation depth. Its pre-wired cable supports direct machine control wiring. For a larger E2A alternative with an M30 body, 20 mm sensing distance, PNP output, and M12 connector, see E2A-M30KN20-M1-B2.
