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.
Flush switches, also known as embeddable or shielded switches, can be mounted so that the sensor face is level with the surface of any material, including metal. They’re more accurate than projecting switches at close range and can be mounted close together without causing interference.
Also available: If you don’t see the switch you need, please select 6693T999 and specify manufacturer and manufacturer part number.
