This M12 inductive sensor detects metal targets at a rated operating distance of 4mm and provides a PNP, normally open output, operating on 10–30 VDC. Its brass, PTFE-coated housing and PBT sensing surface give it an IP68 rating, with a specified operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. The M12 x 1 thread and 3-pin male M12 connector allow straightforward mounting and integration into automation panels and machine builds, with a switching frequency of 2000Hz supporting fast detection cycles.
