Omron E2B-M18KN10-M1-C2 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2B-M18KN10-M1-C2 combines an M18 unshielded inductive sensing body with a 10 mm sensing distance and short-body construction. It uses a DC 3-wire NPN output with NC operation through an M12 connector and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with a 30 × 30 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 400 Hz, current consumption is 10 mA max., and differential travel is 10% max. of sensing distance. A yellow LED indicates operation, while reverse-polarity, surge, short-circuit, and IP67 protection are specified. The E2B-M18KN10-M1-C2 is listed under NPN proximity sensors from Omron automation products.

The Omron E2B-M18KN10-M1-C2 Proximity Sensor combines an M18 unshielded inductive sensing body with a 10 mm sensing distance and short-body construction. It uses a DC 3-wire NPN output with NC operation through an M12 connector and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with a 30 × 30 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 400 Hz, current consumption is 10 mA max., and differential travel is 10% max. of sensing distance. A yellow operation LED is included. Output reverse-polarity protection, power-source reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection are specified.
Environmental specifications for the E2B-M18KN10-M1-C2 give -25 to 70°C for operation and storage without icing or condensation, with humidity from 35% to 95%. Voltage influence is ±1% max. of sensing distance at 24 VDC ±15%. IP67 according to IEC 60529 and EMC according to EN60947-5-2 are specified. Nickel-plated brass is listed for the case and clamping nut, PBT for the sensing surface, and PVC for the standard cable specification. The connector configuration uses the stated 10 to 30 VDC supply with a 400 Hz response frequency. For another M18 NPN NC E2B sensor with a pre-wired connection and shielded sensing configuration, see E2B-M18KS08-WP-C2 2M.
