Omron E2B-M12KN08-M1-B1 is an inductive proximity switch from the E2B series, built for position detection in automation lines. Its 12 mm unshielded barrel yields an 8 mm sensing range, and the output is PNP normally open through a standard M12 connector. Because it is unshielded, this sensor must be mounted non-flush in metal — the sensing face needs clearance. Factor that in if you are swapping out a shielded unit or designing a new bracket.
