Flat-Body AC/DC Metallic-Object Proximity Switches
Mount these flat inductive switches to a base or rail to remotely detect metallic objects in wet and dirty environments. Because these switches have a flat body and long sensing range, they are ideal for noncontact detection of metal objects in position sensing and part presence applications. Use them where cylindrical switches will not fit. Sensing distance is based on the target material. The distance listed is for mild steel. All switches meet American, Canadian, and European safety standards.

Flush switches are also known as embeddable or shielded switches. They can be mounted so that the sensor face is level with the surface of any material, including metal. At close range, they are more accurate than projecting switches and can be mounted close together without causing interference. IP67 rated switches protect against dust and temporary submersion.
Switches with a plug connect to cable with a socket (sold separately) for quick connect and disconnect.
