The E2EX16MB2L18M1OMS: Compared to the flush-mount M12 E2AM12KS04M1B14OMS, this M18 non-flush sensor has a much larger detection zone (16 mm vs 4 mm) and a different output logic (NC vs NO) — not a panel swap without rewiring and re-machining the mounting hole.
With set to 'current', Omron continues to manufacture this part, so no LTB rush needed today. It's a standard catalog line, quoted to order against an RFQ.
Rated IP67/IP69K and brass nickel-plated body. The 400 Hz switching frequency handles fast part detection on a pick-and-place cycle. Supply at 10–30 VDC, 16 mA quiescent. Length is 75 mm — fits standard M18 shielded mounting arrangements for non-flush installations. M12 connector saves panel wiring time versus pigtail.
