The Omron E2B-M30KS15-M1-C1 is a current-production M30 shielded inductive proximity sensor from Omron's E2B family, delivering a 15 mm sensing distance with NPN normally open output and a factory-terminated M12 connector.
Key ratings and what they mean for fit
Shielded construction (flush mount) allows the sensor to be embedded in metal without false triggers from surrounding material, making it suitable for confined mounting surfaces. The 15 mm sensing range covers most standard metal target detection in parts-present or position-feedback applications; the 30 mm diameter brass housing with metric thread fits common M30 mounting holes and brackets. NPN output (sinking) and normally open switching aligns with classic PLC digital input wiring where the sensor pulls the input low when a target is present.
