The Omron E2B-S08LS01-MC-C1 is a shielded inductive proximity sensor from the E2B series, sized for close-range metal object detection in automation lines, conveyor sections, and machine safety interlock paths. Rated for 1.5 mm sensing distance, this NPN normally-open output sinks current when a target enters the detection zone, making it straightforward to wire into a PLC digital input or relay logic without additional level conversion.
Shielded construction allows flush mounting in metal panels without derating the sensing range — critical for position sensing behind a slide gate or inside a machine frame where the sensor body must sit flush with the mounting surface. The 8 mm diameter cylindrical stainless steel body with metric thread accepts standard M8 locknuts and bracket clamps; the long barrel length provides clearance for thicker panels or weldments. Power is supplied through the M8 connector — no onboard LED indication mentioned in the spec, so plan for a separate indicator at the controller or a test piece during commissioning.
