What this sensor is and where it fits
The Omron E2AS08KS02WPB2102MOMS is an M8 flush-mount inductive proximity sensor from the E2A series. It detects ferrous metal targets up to 2 mm away and switches a normally-closed (NC) output. Rated for 200 mA load on 10–32 VDC supply, it's built for tight spots with a 13 mm cube body and stainless steel housing that shrugs off washdown – it carries both IP67 and IP69K. The 3-wire stranded cable (3-pin) gives you the flexibility to run the NC output and power separately. Switching frequency hits 1.5 kHz, fast enough for counting or position sensing on a small assembly line. Repeat accuracy within 10% means you can swap it out without recalibrating if the target distance stays under 2 mm.
Mounting and wiring reality
Flush mounting delivers 2 mm detection in steel. M8 stainless body, 3-wire cable, 10 mA draw.
