The E2A-M18KN16-WP-C1 is an active-production Omron inductive proximity sensor in the standard M18 barrel format. It outputs NPN normally open at 12-24 VDC and detects ferrous targets across 0-16 mm. The 2-meter PVC cable with three wires is pre-attached — no connector to crimp.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
What is the type and output configuration?
It is an inductive proximity sensor with NPN normally open output, M18 threaded barrel, and 0–16 mm sensing distance on 12–24 VDC.
Can the E2C-EDA11 be used as a drop-in replacement?
No. The E2C-EDA11 is a different class (high precision with digital display and configurable output), not a direct mechanical or electrical substitute. Rewiring and repositioning would be required.
