RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M30 x 1.5 PNP Output 30 V DC 200mA 38mm Detection 206-6167

RS PRO 206-6167 Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor is engineered for industrial automation and control applications that require reliable detection of plastic materials. This inductive sensor operates on a 30 V DC supply and features a PNP output type with a maximum switching current of 200mA, simplifying integration with sourcing-type PLC inputs and control equipment.

The sensor body uses nickel plated brass, offering corrosion resistance and compatibility with grounded mounting configurations. With its M30 x 1.5 threaded barrel design and a length of 70 mm, it supports secure inline mounting in machinery setups. The rated IP67 protection ensures operation in dusty or washdown environments, protecting internal components from contaminants and water immersion.

Its maximum detection range of 38 mm allows for effective sensing of plastic targets without false activation from metal objects, supported by its unshielded sensing approach. Operating temperatures from -25°C to 75°C make it versatile for diverse industrial conditions. The device's 100 Hz switching frequency facilitates moderate-speed counting and positioning tasks in assembly lines or automated gating systems.

Intended use cases include conveyor line presence detection, part counting, position detection in assembly machines, and automated rejection systems handling plastic components. The fixed cable termination enables direct hardwiring into sensor arrays or control panels without connectors, reducing installation complexity and points of failure.

This sensor features a threaded barrel body with M30 x 1.5 thread size for standard industrial mounting. PNP output topology supports sourcing inputs with a switching current of 200mA. Built with nickel plated brass housing ensuring durability and corrosion resistance in harsh environments.

IP67 rated enclosure protects against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water. Operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -25°C to 75°C. Maximum switching frequency is 100 Hz suitable for moderate-speed counting and position sensing.

Designed for non-flush mounting with cable termination for easy wiring in control systems. Ideal for presence detection, automation, and control in industrial and manufacturing processes.
