Product Overview
The Omron E2B-M12KN08-WZ-C2 is an M12 cylindrical inductive proximity sensor from the E2B brass standard series It is manufactured by Omron Corporation. Hengyixin Automation ships this sensor from our Xiamen warehouse with a 30-day DOA return window and a datasheet PDF included in the box.
The sensor detects ferrous metal at 8 mm when unshielded (non-flush mounted). Output is 3-wire NPN normally open, switching up to 200 mA at 12 to 24 VDC.
For 4 mm range in the same M12 body, pick the E2B-M12KN05-WZ-B1. Key specs: Body Size / Thread M12 x 1, brass standard length; Sensing Distance 8 mm (unshielded / non-flush); Output Type NPN normally open, 3-wire; Supply Voltage 12 to 24 VDC (10 to 30 VDC operating range); Switching Current 200 mA max; Response Frequency 800 Hz; Connection 2 m PVC pre-wired cable; Protection / Temperature IP67 (IEC 60529); -25 to +70 degC operating.
Key Features
- E2B brass-standard M12 inductive proximity sensor, unshielded, 8 mm sensing range
- 3-wire NPN normally open output, 12 to 24 VDC, 200 mA switching, 800 Hz response
- 2 m PVC pre-wired cable, M12 x 1 nickel-plated brass body, IP67, -25 to +70 degC
- 10 mA max current draw, PBT sensing face, 4-way LED indicator on the body cap
- SKU: E2B-M12KN08-WZ-C2
- Series: Omron E2B-series cylindrical inductive proximity sensor
- Voltage: 12 TO 24 VDC
Best-Fit Applications
- End-of-stroke detection on a small pneumatic cylinder where the 8 mm range covers the cam without flush mounting
- Position feedback on a conveyor diverter arm where the M12 body fits the standard mounting bracket and the NPN output matches the PLC
- Spare drop-in for an existing E2B cell where the previous proximity sensor failed and the field wiring is NPN 3-wire
Buying Checklist
- Pick the E2B-M12KN08-WZ-C2 for an M12 unshielded inductive sensor with NPN NO output and a 2 m cable.
- Pick the E2B-M12KN08-WZ-B1 instead when the field wiring is PNP and the same 8 mm range is needed.
- Pick the E2B-M12KN05-WZ-B1 instead when the cabinet only has room for a 4 mm range and the body stays M12.

FAQ for E2B-M12KN08-WZ-C2
What does the C2 suffix mean on the E2B-M12KN08-WZ-C2?
C2 is the operation-mode suffix: C = NPN output, 2 = normally closed. So the -WZ-C2 sensor is NPN normally closed. For NPN normally open on the same 8 mm range, pick the E2B-M12KN08-WZ-C1.
Can the E2B-M12KN08-WZ-C2 be flush mounted?
No. The 8 mm range on this unit is the unshielded (non-flush) rating. Flush mounting reduces the usable range. If the panel needs flush mounting, pick the shielded E2B-M12KN08-WZ-B1 in the same body.
What PLC input cards work with this sensor?
Any PLC input card or DC input module that accepts a sinking (NPN) signal. On Omron CP1W-ID211 / CP1W-ID212 inputs, wire the black wire to the input terminal and the blue wire to common.
Can the E2B-M12KN08-WZ-C2 detect non-ferrous metal?
Yes, but at reduced range. The datasheet gives 8 mm on mild steel. Stainless steel drops to about 0.5 of that, brass to about 0.4, and aluminium to about 0.3. For an aluminium-only line, derate the range or pick a larger body such as the E2B-M18KS08-M1-B1.
