This M18x1 inductive sensor detects metal targets at a rated operating distance of 8.0mm, providing a PNP normally open output for switching signals into a PLC or control circuit. Its brass housing with nickel-free coating and IP68 rating suit installations exposed to washdown or contaminated industrial environments. Connection is via an M12x1, 3-pin, A-coded male connector, and the unit operates from a 10-30 VDC supply, making it suitable for standard automation panel and machine-level field sensing applications.
