Inductive Proximity Sensor - 8mm

ID: PRX4100_0

This inductive sensor will switch when it detects metallic objects within 8mm.

$15.00

Quantity Available: 18

Qty Price
5 $14.40
10 $13.80

This inductive proximity sensor is used for non-contact detection of metallic objects at a distance of up to 8mm.

Note: The detecting distance will vary depending on the shape, thickness and type of material being detected.

Features

  • Detects metallic objects up to 8mm away
  • LED indicator lights up when triggered
  • Includes mounting nuts and washers

Guides

Sensor Adapter

This sensor requires a 10-30V power supply and outputs 5V when the sensor is triggered. The easiest way to use this sensor is to connect it to the Versatile Input Phidget, a device that can interface a wide variety of sensor types.

To connect the sensor, connect the wires as follows:
