Omron E2A-M18KS08-WP-B2 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18KS08-WP-B2 2M 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 NC operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable 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. Output reverse-polarity, supply reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are specified. The E2A-M18KS08-WP-B2 2M is included among M18 shielded proximity sensors from Omron automation sensing products for metal detection.

The Omron E2A-M18KS08-WP-B2 2M Proximity Sensor combines an M18 cylindrical shielded inductive sensing body 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 NC operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable 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.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M18KS08-WP-B2 extend from -40 to 70°C and storage from -40 to 85°C. Environmental ratings include IP67 according to IEC 60529, IP69K according to DIN 40050, and EMC according to EN60947-5-2. The shielded sensing format supports mounting close to surrounding metal, while the short M18 body helps reduce installation depth. The pre-wired cable allows direct connection to machine controls. Brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing options, PBT components, and PVC cabling are listed for the E2A construction. For an E2A M18 model with longer 16 mm sensing and an M8 connector, see E2A-M18LN16-M3-B1.
