Omron E2E-X16MB218-M1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X16MB218-M1 offers a 16 mm sensing range from an M18 unshielded short-body design with DC 3-wire PNP normally closed switching. Its usable setting distance extends from 0 to 12.8 mm, while an M12 connector supports detachable wiring. The sensor runs from 10 to 30 VDC with a 400 Hz response frequency. Current ratings reach 200 mA max. for 1-output models and 100 mA max. for 2-output versions. See the E2E-X16MB218-M1 as an E2E NEXT Series model, then compare similar PNP NC proximity sensors across other products offered by Omron Sensor Products.

The Omron E2E-X16MB218-M1 Proximity Sensor uses an M18 unshielded sensing body with a 16 mm nominal range, 0 to 12.8 mm setting distance, and short housing. It provides DC 3-wire PNP normally closed switching through an M12 connector and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is specified for sensing, using an iron 48 × 48 × 1 mm standard target. Response frequency is 400 Hz. Current ratings reach 200 mA max. for 1-output models and 100 mA max. for 2-output versions. Supply reverse polarity, output reverse polarity, surge suppression, and output short-circuit protection are included.
The sensor is rated from -40 to 85°C for operation and storage, with IP67 according to IEC 60529 and ISO 20653 specified for this M18 PNP NC proximity sensor. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are included in the material specification. For control inputs requiring normally closed PNP logic with detachable wiring, the E2E-X16MB218-M1 provides an M12 connector while maintaining a 16 mm sensing distance. Standard I/O and IO-Link modes use separate indicator states.
