Omron E2A-M18LN16-M3-B2 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18LN16-M3-B2 is an M18 cylindrical inductive proximity sensor with an unshielded sensing face, 16 mm sensing distance, and 0 to 12.8 mm setting range. Its long body uses DC 3-wire PNP NC switching through a 4-pin M8 connector and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 400 Hz, while the control output is rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow operation LED and reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection are specified. See the E2A-M18LN16-M3-B2 under M18 proximity sensors from Omron Sensors.

The Omron E2A-M18LN16-M3-B2 Proximity Sensor uses an M18 cylindrical unshielded inductive body with a 16 mm sensing distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting range, and long-body construction. Its DC 3-wire PNP output operates in normally closed mode through a 4-pin M8 connector. The sensor works from 12 to 24 VDC and has a response frequency of 400 Hz. Control output is specified at 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow LED indicates operating status. Electrical protection covers output reverse polarity, supply reverse polarity, surge suppression, and short circuit, making the model suitable for M18 PNP proximity sensor applications where NC switching and detachable M8 wiring are required.
Operating temperature for the E2A-M18LN16-M3-B2 extends from -40 to 70°C, while storage is specified from -40 to 85°C. The enclosure carries IP67 according to IEC 60529 and IP69K according to DIN 40050, together with EMC conformity to EN60947-5-2. Housing materials include brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel options with PBT components. The unshielded sensing arrangement supports the stated 16 mm range, while the long threaded body allows positioning adjustment during installation. For an E2A model using an M12 body, 8 mm sensing distance, PNP NO output, and M12 connector, see E2A-M12KN08-M1-B1.
