The Omron E2B-S08KS01-WP-C1 5M belongs to the current E2B series of inductive proximity sensors. This shielded 8 mm cylindrical stainless steel unit is wired NPN normally open, with a 5 meter PVC pigtail. The 1.5 mm sensing distance suits close-proximity metal detection where the target passes within a short, repeatable window. That shielded construction means the sensor is effectively screened against stray fields and can be flush-mounted in metal without derating the sensing range. For a line-down replacement, the normally open output and NPN sink logic are the primary constraints; the 5 m cable length gives flexibility for panel-location wiring without a junction box.
Not interchangeable with E2K-X8MY2
The E2K-X8MY2 is an unshielded M18 sensor with two-wire AC output and NC operation. It requires different mounting and wiring than the 8 mm NPN NO sensor with 1.5 mm range.
