Omron E2A-M18LN16-M1-C2 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18LN16-M1-C2 uses an M18 cylindrical unshielded sensing body with a 16 mm inductive detection distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting range, and long-body format. It provides DC 3-wire NPN NC output through an M12 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 LED shows operation, and output reverse-polarity, supply reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are included. The E2A-M18LN16-M1-C2 is part of the M18 NPN proximity sensor range offered by Omron Sensors.

The Omron E2A-M18LN16-M1-C2 Proximity Sensor combines an M18 cylindrical unshielded inductive sensing body with a 16 mm sensing distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting range, and long-body construction. It uses DC 3-wire NPN NC switching through an M12 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 operation indicator is specified along with output reverse-polarity, supply reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection. The NPN NC output and extended housing suit Omron M18 NPN proximity sensor applications requiring increased mounting adjustment.
Operating conditions for the E2A-M18LN16-M1-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 EN60947-5-2 are listed. Brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing options and PBT components are included in the construction details. The unshielded design supports the stated 16 mm sensing distance, while the long body provides added threaded positioning range. Its M12 connector allows detachable sensor wiring. For a compact E2A alternative with an M8 body, 2 mm sensing distance, and PNP operation, see E2A-S08LS02-M1-B2.
