This M18 inductive sensor detects the presence of metal targets without physical contact and provides a PNP normally open switching output. It operates from a 10-30 VDC supply, rated at 200 mA, with a switching frequency of 400 Hz, and connects via an M12x1 male 3-pin A-coded connector. The brass housing with nickel-free coating and PBT sensing surface, combined with an IP68 rating, suit installation in panels and machines where the sensor may be exposed to washdown or harsh industrial environments.
