Inductive proximity sensor | 12mm | 10-30VDC | PNP | NO | IP67 | M18 | 2m cable | AK1/AP-4A
Code: 00033825Reliable and durable sensor designed for detecting metal objects at distances of up to 12 mm. It operates on the inductive principle, responding to the presence of objects near the sensor's active area. With a PNP-type output and a normally open (NO) contact, this sensor is ideal for automation systems requiring fast and precise switching. The integrated 2-meter cable allows for flexible installation, while the IP67 protection rating ensures suitability for use in harsh industrial environments.
