Omron E2B-M12KN05-M1-B1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2B-M12KN05-M1-B1 provides a 5 mm sensing distance from an M12 cylindrical unshielded body designed with short-body construction. It uses DC 3-wire PNP switching with NO operation through an M12 connector and works from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, matched with a 15 × 15 × 1 mm standard sensing target. Response frequency is 800 Hz, while control output is rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow operation LED and multiple circuit protection functions are specified. The E2B-M12KN05-M1-B1 is part of 5 mm inductive proximity sensors from Omron industrial sensor products.

The Omron E2B-M12KN05-M1-B1 Proximity Sensor provides non-contact metal detection through an M12 unshielded sensing body with a 5 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 4 mm setting range. Its compact short-body construction uses DC 3-wire PNP NO switching through an M12 connector and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified target, paired with a 15 × 15 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 800 Hz. Control output is rated 200 mA max. at 32 VDC max. with a maximum 2 V voltage drop. A yellow operation indicator and multiple electrical protection functions are included.
Operating and storage conditions for the E2B-M12KN05-M1-B1 cover -25 to 70°C. IP67 according to IEC 60529 and EMC according to EN60947-5-2 are specified. The M12 short-body arrangement helps reduce installation depth, while the unshielded design offers the stated 5 mm sensing range. The detachable connector simplifies cable replacement during machine maintenance. Brass-nickel-plated parts, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are included in the material specification. Ferrous metal remains the stated detection target for this configuration. For an E2B alternative with an M18 body, 8 mm sensing distance, and NPN output, see E2B-M18KS08-M1-C1.
