Omron E2A-M18LS08-M3-B2 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2A-M18LS08-M3-B2 detects metallic targets with an M18 shielded cylindrical sensing face rated for an 8 mm sensing distance. The long-body construction has a 0 to 6.4 mm setting range and uses DC 3-wire PNP NC switching through a 4-pin M8 connector. Operating voltage is 12 to 24 VDC, and response frequency is 500 Hz. Control output is rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max., while voltage drop is limited to 2 V. The sensor includes a yellow operation indicator with reverse-polarity, surge, and short-circuit protection.

The Omron E2A-M18LS08-M3-B2 Proximity Sensor is designed with an M18 cylindrical shielded inductive sensing face rated for an 8 mm sensing distance. The long-body construction has a 0 to 6.4 mm setting range and uses DC 3-wire PNP normally closed switching. An M8 4-pin connector is used for electrical connection, and the operating supply range is 12 to 24 VDC. Response frequency is 500 Hz. The control output is specified at 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. with voltage drop limited to 2 V. A yellow LED indicates operation, while reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection are included in the circuit specification.
The E2A-M18LS08-M3-B2 operates from -40 to 70°C and supports storage from -40 to 85°C. It is rated IP67 according to IEC 60529 and IP69K according to DIN 40050, with EMC specified under EN60947-5-2. Housing construction includes brass-nickel-plated or stainless-steel options with PBT components. The shielded M18 sensing structure and 4-pin M8 connector distinguish this version from cable-connected and M12-connector variants. For another M18 E2A proximity sensor using a 3-pin M8 connector but with an unshielded body and a longer 16 mm sensing distance, see E2A-M18KN16-M5-B2.
