Omron E2B-M18KN16-M1-C1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2B-M18KN16-M1-C1 is an M18 unshielded inductive proximity sensor in a cylindrical short-body format, offering a 16 mm sensing distance and 0 to 12.8 mm setting distance. Its DC 3-wire NPN output operates in NO mode through an M12 connector on a 10 to 30 VDC supply. Ferrous metal is specified for detection, 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. Electrical protection and a yellow operation LED are included. The E2B-M18KN16-M1-C1 is listed with NPN proximity sensors from Omron industrial sensing products.

The Omron E2B-M18KN16-M1-C1 Proximity Sensor uses an M18 unshielded cylindrical 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 NPN 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., and the specified voltage drop is 2 V max. A yellow operation indicator is included with output reverse-polarity protection, power-source reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection.
Environmental limits for the E2B-M18KN16-M1-C1 specify -25 to 70°C for operation and storage. IP67 according to IEC 60529 and EMC according to EN60947-5-2 are listed. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and the standard 4 mm diameter PVC cable specification are included among the construction details. The 16 mm unshielded sensing distance is paired with NPN NO switching and an M12 connector. Ferrous metal is the stated detectable object, matching the listed 48 × 48 × 1 mm sensing object. For another E2B model with an M30 body, a 10 mm sensing distance, and an M12 connector, see E2B-M30KS10-M1-C1.
