AC Metallic-Object Proximity Switches for Long Distances
Micro
M12 Plug
Sense objects from farther away than with other proximity switches that have the same diameter. Also known as inductive proximity switches, they remotely sense metallic objects even if they’re obscured by water, oil, dirt, or a surface finish. Sensing distance is based on the type of material being sensed. The distance listed is for mild steel. All are rated NEMA 6P, 13, IP67 and IP69K.
Projecting switches, also known as non-embeddable or unshielded switches, must be mounted with the area around the sensor face free of metal. They have a longer sensing distance than flush switches with the same diameter.
Switches with a 3-pole Micro M12 plug connect to cables with a socket (sold separately), allowing you to quickly connect and disconnect the switch.
