Product details

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.

Frequently asked questions

What is the output configuration?

PNP, normally open — the output goes high (24 V) when the sensor detects a metal target.

Will the E2AM18KN16M1B1 replace a sensor specified as E2A-M18KN16-M1-B1?

Yes, the two part numbers reference the same product — it's a direct fit, no wiring or mounting changes needed.

What is the sensing distance and can it be adjusted?

The maximum sensing distance is 16 mm on a standard steel target. Most inductive sensors are fixed range, so mount it at the distance you need — it's not adjustable.
