Omron E2A-M18LN16-M5-C1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18LN16-M5-C1 uses an M18 unshielded inductive sensing body with a 16 mm sensing distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting range, and long cylindrical housing. Its DC 3-wire NPN output works in normally open mode and connects through a 3-pin M8 connector. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and has a response frequency of 400 Hz. Output capacity is rated at 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max., with a maximum 2 V voltage drop. A yellow operation LED is fitted along with reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection.

The Omron E2A-M18LN16-M5-C1 Proximity Sensor uses an M18 cylindrical unshielded inductive sensing body with a 16 mm sensing distance and 0 to 12.8 mm setting range. The long threaded housing has a DC 3-wire NPN normally open output and a 3-pin M8 connector. It works from 12 to 24 VDC and has a response frequency of 400 Hz. Control output is rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. with voltage drop specified at 2 V max. A yellow operation LED is fitted for switching indication. Electrical safeguards include output reverse polarity, supply reverse polarity, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection. These specifications suit M18 NPN proximity sensor applications requiring extended sensing and detachable M8 wiring.
The E2A-M18LN16-M5-C1 operates from -40 to 70°C and can be stored from -40 to 85°C. Its enclosure specification includes IP67 according to IEC 60529 and IP69K according to DIN 40050, while EMC is listed to EN60947-5-2. Brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel housing construction and PBT components are specified. The unshielded sensing arrangement supports the stated 16 mm range, while the long housing allows greater mounting adjustment. For an M18 E2A sensor with the same 16 mm sensing distance and NPN NO output but using a pre-wired 2 m cable instead of a connector, see E2A-M18LN16-WP-C1 2M.
