Omron E2AM18KN16M1B1 inductive proximity sensor with 16 mm sensing range, PNP normally open, IP68, 24 VDC supply, and 0.2 A switching current.
What those ratings mean for you
That 16 mm sensing distance is the maximum it'll detect a standard ferrous target — derate a bit for aluminum or stainless. The IP68 rating means it can take a direct spray or even brief submersion, so if your machine sees washdown cycles, this is your sensor. PNP NO output means the load gets switched when the sensor sees metal — standard sourcing output. The brass housing is tough; the M12 connector lets you swap it in minutes without opening the junction box. Operating temperature covers -25 to 70 °C, so it'll handle a hot motor enclosure or a cold warehouse.
If your panel called out E2A-M18KN16-M1-B1, this is the same part — no rewiring needed, drops straight in.
