Omron E2B-M18KN16-M1-B1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2B-M18KN16-M1-B1 is a cylindrical M18 unshielded inductive proximity sensor with a 16 mm sensing distance, a 0 to 12.8 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It uses a DC 3-wire PNP output with NO operation through an M12 connector and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with a 48 × 48 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 400 Hz, control output is 200 mA max. at 30 VDC max., and voltage drop is 2 V max. A yellow LED indicates operation, while electrical protection functions are specified. The E2B-M18KN16-M1-B1 appears under M18 proximity sensors from Omron sensing products.

The Omron E2B-M18KN16-M1-B1 Proximity Sensor uses a cylindrical M18 unshielded inductive sensing body with a 16 mm sensing distance, a 0 to 12.8 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It provides a DC 3-wire PNP output with NO operation through an M12 connector and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with a 48 × 48 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 400 Hz. Control output is rated 200 mA max. at 30 VDC max., with a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow operation LED is provided, while output reverse-polarity, power-source reverse-polarity, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection are specified.
Operating and storage conditions for the E2B-M18KN16-M1-B1 cover -25 to 70°C. IP67 according to IEC 60529 and EMC according to EN60947-5-2 are specified. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and the standard PVC cable specification appear in the material data. The compact M18 configuration pairs unshielded 16 mm sensing with PNP NO switching and an M12 connector. Ferrous metal remains the stated detection target, while the 400 Hz response frequency and 200 mA control-output rating form the principal electrical values. For another M18 E2B model with the same 16 mm sensing distance and PNP NO output but long-body construction and a pre-wired 2 m cable, see E2B-M18LN16-WP-B1 2M.
