The Omron E2EX2B2L8M1OMS is a stainless steel M8 flush-mount inductive proximity sensor from the E2E-Next series, switching at 1.5 kHz with a 2 mm sensing distance. Output is PNP normally-closed, rated 200 mA continuous load. M12 4-pin connector, IP67/IP69K, and a 53 mm length. Power draw sits at 16 mA; supply range is 10–30 VDC. The full operating temperature window spans –40 to 85 °C, so it handles cabinet heat or washdown zones without derating.
Sibling comparison: E2BS08KS02MCB120OMS
If you're cross-referencing the E2BS08KS02MCB120OMS (E2B series, M8 3-pin, NO output), watch the differences: the E2EX2B2L8M1OMS uses an M12 4-pin connector, runs PNP NC output, and needs 16 mA vs 10 mA. The body is 53 mm long versus 44 mm. Both are flush-mount M8 with 2 mm sensing and 1.5 kHz switching, but the wiring and output logic are not drop-in compatible without a cable change and logic inversion.
Flush mount into steel or aluminum, 2 mm nominal gap. The M12 4-pin connector mates with standard A-coded cordsets; pinout is PNP NC: brown = V+, blue = V-, black = output (load to ground, normally closed). IP69K rating holds if the mating connector is also rated for washdown.
