The E2BM30LS15WPB12MOMI: This is a flush-mount M30 inductive sensor from the E2B line — the kind you bury in a bracket near a bearing housing and forget about. Rated IP67, so it'll shrug off a washdown without flinching, and the brass housing holds up out here in the grease. Switches at 250 Hz, which is plenty fast for counting parts on a conveyor or sensing a cam, but not for a high-speed pick-and-place. PNP normally open, pulls 200 mA load current—enough to drive a PLC input or a small relay directly. Sensing distance is 15 mm, typical for flush-mount targets on steel. Two-metre pigtail means no connector to corrode on a wet route.
Closest sibling is the E2BM30LS15M1B1OMI, which matches every electrical spec — same 15 mm range, 250 Hz, PNP NO, same IP67 and brass body — but terminates with an M12 connector instead of a 2 m cable. That changes the wiring method: the cable model lands directly into a terminal block; the connector model plugs into a mating cordset. Length also differs by 4 mm (82 mm vs 86 mm) so the cable version is slightly shorter, but the M30 thread and flush-mount body are identical. It'll bolt into the same bracket, but if your panel was built expecting a connector, you'll need to adapt the wiring or swap to the pigtail version. No change in sensing performance.
