The EI1808TBOPL is an AC inductive proximity sensor designed for industrial detection applications with a cylindrical M18 housing constructed from grey thermoplastic polyester. It features a rated operating distance of 8 mm for non-flush mounting in metal, with an operating voltage range of 24 to 240 VAC and SCR make-switching output capable of continuous current up to 500 mA. The sensor includes a yellow LED ring for output status indication, IP 67 protection rating for environmental compatibility, and operates reliably across temperatures from -25°C to +70°C. It is supplied with either a 2 m PVC cable or M12 x 1 double-keyed plug connector, making it suitable for automated manufacturing, material handling, and process control systems where reliable non-contact object detection is required.
