RS PRO Cylindrical Thread Design Inductive Proximity Sensor, M12 x 1 PNP 30V 4 mm 30 V dc 200mA

SICK Proximity Sensor, 4mm Maximum Detection, Stainless Steel Housing - 1113867

This proximity sensor is a Compact cylindrical device designed to detect plastic targets in industrial automation and control systems. Housed in stainless steel for harsh environments, it operates with a PNP switched output and connects via a 4-pin M12 interface. The unit is suited for flush mounting and intended for installations requiring a robust, sealed sensor with relatively short sensing range.

Features and Benefits:

• IP68 and IP69K sealing for immersion and high-pressure washdown
  Withstands ambient temperatures up to 100°C for high-heat zones
  Switching frequency 2kHz for fast detection in Rapid processes
  30V supply compatibility enabling direct integration with common DC systems
  200mA switching current supporting a range of load devices
  Shielded inductive design reducing false triggers from nearby metal

Applications

• Suitable for conveyor end-of-line plastic part detection
  Ideal for automated assembly stations with high washdown requirements
  Used for position sensing in Compact machine modules
  Can be used with control panels requiring M12 x 1 wire connections

What mounting approach is required for secure installation?

It is designed for flush mounting into metal or polymer brackets, matching the M12 x 1 thread for direct panel integration.

How does the sensor handle electrical interfacing?

The Terminal is a 4-pin connector with PNP output topology and operates from a maximum supply of 30V DC while delivering up to 200mA switching current.

What materials can it reliably sense?

The sensing profile is tuned for plastic targets and provides dependable switching behaviour at a maximum detection distance of 4mm.

What environmental limits affect long-term operation?

It is rated to operate down to -40°C and up to 100°C, and its stainless-steel housing maintains integrity under chemical cleaning and pressurised wash cycles.
