AC/DC Metallic-Object Proximity Switches
These switches accept both AC and DC input. 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 IP67 or IP68 for protection from temporary submersion.
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.
Also available: If you don’t see the switch you need, please select 6693T999 and specify manufacturer and manufacturer part number.
