This M12x1 inductive sensor from Balluff detects metal targets at a rated operating distance of 4 mm and provides an NPN normally closed output switching at up to 2500 Hz. Housed in brass with a nickel-free coating and a PBT sensing face, it is rated IP68 and suited to flush mounting in panels or machine frames where wash-down or ingress protection is required. Connection is via an M12x1, 4-pin, A-coded male connector, and the sensor operates from a 10-30 VDC supply drawing up to 200 mA. Its brass housing and IP68 rating make it appropriate for automation applications where compact, position-sensing components are mounted directly into metal structures.
