RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M12 x 1 30V 200mA PNP 4mm Detection 206-6137

RS PRO 206-6137 Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor is a high-quality industrial sensor designed to reliably detect plastic targets within automation, manufacturing, and control systems. Its compact form factor with an M12 x 1 threaded barrel and stainless steel housing ensures ruggedness and durability, suitable for harsh environmental conditions including chemical cleaning and pressurized wash cycles.

With IP68 and IP69K protection ratings, the sensor is fully resistant to water immersion and high-pressure washdowns, making it ideal for applications requiring stringent hygiene or environmental resilience. It operates efficiently in a wide temperature range from -40°C to 100°C, ensuring consistent performance in extreme temperature zones.

The sensor features a PNP output type with a 4-pin terminal connection and supports a maximum supply voltage of 30V DC along with a switching current of 200mA. Its maximum sensing distance is 4 mm, finely tuned for plastic objects detection, which helps in precise positioning and presence sensing tasks.

Engineered for flush mounting, it fits directly into metal or polymer brackets with its M12 x 1 thread dimension, providing a secure and compact installation footprint. The 2kHz switching frequency supports rapid detection cycles in high-speed automated processes. Additionally, its shielded design minimizes interference from adjacent metallic components, ensuring reliable switching signals.

Typical use cases include conveyor end-of-line plastic part detection, assembly station automation with high washdown requirements, and integration into compact machine modules and control panels. Its stainless steel housing withstands corrosive environments and maintains sensor integrity under repeated cleaning cycles.

The sensor features a compact threaded barrel stainless steel body for durability. It offers IP68 and IP69K ratings for immersion and high-pressure washdown resistance. Operates within a temperature range from -40°C to 100°C for harsh environments.
