Omron E2B-M18KN16-WP-C1 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2B-M18KN16-WP-C1 2M 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 NPN output with NO operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable 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 voltage drop is 2 V max. The E2B-M18KN16-WP-C1 2M is listed among NPN proximity sensors from Omron industrial sensors.

The Omron E2B-M18KN16-WP-C1 2M 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 NPN output with NO operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable 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 indicator is provided, while output reverse-polarity protection, power-source reverse-polarity protection, surge suppression, and short-circuit protection are specified.
Operating and storage conditions for the E2B-M18KN16-WP-C1 are -25 to 70°C. IP67 according to IEC 60529 and EMC according to EN60947-5-2 are listed. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and a standard 4 mm diameter PVC cable are included in the construction details. The 16 mm unshielded sensing arrangement is paired with NPN NO switching and the pre-wired connection, while ferrous metal remains the stated detection target. For another E2B model with a larger M30 body, 30 mm sensing distance, PNP NC output, and an M12 connector, see E2B-M30LN30-M1-B2.
