The E2EX16MB1TL18M1OMS: M18 non-flush inductive sensor from the Omron E2E-Next series, outputting a PNP normally-open signal. Rated for 16 mm sensing distance at 400 Hz switching frequency, with a brass nickel-plated housing sealed to IP67 and IP69K. Supply voltage range 10–30 V DC, draws 16 mA with load current capability up to 200 mA. Termination via an M12 4-pin connector, making this a quick-disconnect variant for environments where cable replacement is frequent.
How it differs from the cable variant
The closest functional sibling is E2EX16MB1TL182MOMS — same sensing distance, output, and frequency, but terminated with a 2 m cable instead of the M12 connector. The connector version (this MPN) requires a mating cordset, while the cable variant is a pre-wired drop-in. Panel rewiring is needed if swapping between them; the cable variant cannot simply plug into the same M12 socket. Physical length differs slightly: 75 mm on the connector variant versus 77.3 mm on the cable variant. The M12 connector protrudes axially; ensure clearance for the mating plug in tight spaces.
Mounting: non-flush, so the active face requires clearance from surrounding metal — typically at least 18 mm (circular) or as specified in the installation manual. The brass housing stands up to washdown; IP69K rating permits high-pressure, high-temperature spray without ingress. M12 4-pin termination. Switching frequency 400 Hz; load current 200 mA.
