RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M12 x 1 NPN 30V DC 200mA 8mm Detection 206-6158

RS PRO 206-6158 Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor is engineered for industrial automation requiring compact, reliable sensing solutions. This cylindrical sensor with an M12 x 1 thread size provides an 8 mm maximum detection range for plastic and metallic materials without physical contact.

Operating from a DC supply voltage up to 30 V and supporting NPN output, it integrates seamlessly with control circuits. The sensor's nickel-plated brass housing and IP67 rating ensure robust protection against harsh environmental factors including dust and washdown conditions.

The sensor maintains reliable operation between −25°C and +75°C, offering versatility across varied industrial settings. It features a switching frequency of 2 kHz and a maximum switching current of 200 mA, enabling rapid and stable detection for conveyor systems, assembly machinery, and pick-and-place equipment.

Designed for non-flush mounting, the sensor comes complete with a 2 m length PVC cable and two nickel-plated brass nuts for secure panel or bracket installation. Its unshielded design is optimal for plastic part sensing needs.

Ideal for applications in conveyor object sensing, machine safety, control cabinets, and industrial counting systems, it provides effective electromagnetic compatibility and protection against installation faults such as short circuit and reverse polarity.

The sensor features a threaded barrel design with M12 x 1 thread size for secure mounting. NPN output type supports easy integration with switching controls. Operational voltage range of 10 to 30 V DC suits flexible system use.

High IP67 rating ensures excellent resistance to dust and water ingress. Operating temperature range from −25°C to +75°C maintains stable performance under varying industrial conditions. Maximum switching current rated at 200 mA supports demanding load requirements.

Switching frequency up to 2 kHz allows rapid object detection in automation tasks. Housing made from nickel-plated brass delivers durability and corrosion resistance. Supplied with 2 m three-wire PVC cable and fastening nuts for straightforward installation.

Designed for non-flush mounting with unshielded sensing face for plastic detection.
