This M12x1 inductive sensor from Balluff detects metal targets at a rated operating distance of 2mm and provides a PNP normally open output switching at up to 3500 Hz. Its brass, nickel-free coated housing supports flush mounting, making it suitable for installation in confined machine or panel spaces where the surrounding metal will not affect detection. Connection is made via a male 4-pin A-coded M12x1 connector, with operation across 10 to 30 VDC and a rated operating current of 200 mA.
