The E2B-M12KN08-WP-C1 2M is an unshielded inductive proximity sensor in the E2B series, with an 8 mm nominal sensing distance and an NPN normally-open 3-wire output. It operates on a 10 V DC supply and is rated IP67, with a nickel-plated brass barrel and 2-meter cable leads.
Rated for -25°C to 70°C operating, this sensor suits indoor industrial cabinets, conveyor lines, and packaging machinery. The IP67 rating handles washdown and temporary immersion — mount the cable entry facing down to avoid water pooling at the gland.
Switching frequency and output timing
At 800 Hz switching frequency, the sensor can detect targets passing at moderate line speeds. For high-speed encoder replacement or sub-millisecond event capture, look to a higher-frequency inductive sensor.
