Omron E2A-M18KS08-M3-C2 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18KS08-M3-C2 features an M18 shielded inductive sensing arrangement with an 8 mm detection distance, 0 to 6.4 mm setting range, and short-body construction. It uses DC 3-wire NPN NC switching through a 4-pin M8 connector and works 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 indicator is included along with reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection.

The Omron E2A-M18KS08-M3-C2 Proximity Sensor combines an M18 cylindrical shielded inductive body with an 8 mm sensing distance, 0 to 6.4 mm setting range, and short-body construction. It provides DC 3-wire NPN NC output through a 4-pin M8 connector and works 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 indicator is provided together with output reverse-polarity, supply reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection. This arrangement supports Omron M18 NPN proximity sensor applications requiring shielded mounting and normally closed switching.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M18KS08-M3-C2 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 specified. Brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing options and PBT components are included in the construction data. The shielded sensing format supports mounting near surrounding metal, while the short body reduces required installation depth. Its M8 connector permits detachable field cabling. For another E2A sensor with a 16 mm sensing distance, PNP NO operation, and M8 connector, see E2A-M18LN16-M3-B1.
