Omron Inductive Block Proximity Sensor, 2.5 mm Detection, PNP NO, 12 → 24 V dc

The E2A3 inductive sensor from Omron is designed to have a longer sensing distance to its standard E2A counterpart. This range featuers and optimised sensing preformance to achieve triple the sensing distance for flush mounting requirements. The additional sensing distance decreases the likelyhood of contact and mechanical damage.
