Omron E2A-M18KS08-M1-B3 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18KS08-M1-B3 is a cylindrical M18 shielded inductive proximity sensor with an 8 mm sensing distance, 0 to 6.4 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It uses a DC 3-wire PNP output with both NO and NC switching through an M12 connector and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 500 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 reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection specified. The E2A-M18KS08-M1-B3 is included among M18 shielded proximity sensors from Omron industrial sensing products.

The Omron E2A-M18KS08-M1-B3 Proximity Sensor uses a cylindrical M18 shielded inductive sensing body with an 8 mm sensing distance, a 0 to 6.4 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It provides a DC 3-wire PNP output with both NO and NC switching through an M12 connector and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 500 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 for the electrical circuit.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M18KS08-M1-B3 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 specified. The shielded M18 arrangement supports mounting close to surrounding metal, while short-body construction helps reduce rear installation depth. Dual PNP NO and NC switching provides both output states within the stated configuration. Brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing options and PBT are listed among the construction materials. For another E2A sensor with an M8 body, 4 mm sensing distance, NPN NO switching, and a 2 m cable, see E2A-S08KN04-WP-C1 2M.
