RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M12 PNP 36 V DC 200 mA 4 mm Detection NBN4-12GM50-E2-V1

Pepperl + Fuchs NBN4-12GM50-E2-V1 Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor offers reliable and precise metal detection for industrial automation applications. Featuring a robust M12 nickel-plated brass body with white bronze coating and a PBT sensing face, this sensor ensures durability and resistance in demanding environments. The sensor operates at 36 V DC with a PNP output and a maximum sensing range of 4 mm, making it ideal for non-contact detection of metal objects in manufacturing, water treatment, HVAC, and general industrial use cases.

The sensor features a non-flush mounting style and is unshielded, providing an extended sensing distance compared to shielded types, making it suitable for applications where mounting space allows. It comes with a 4-pin M12 connector terminal and supports a maximum switching frequency of 2.65 kHz, enabling rapid response to changes in target presence. Its IP68 rating protects against dust and water ingress, allowing use in harsh conditions. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to 85°C, ensuring performance stability in diverse environments.

Designed with a length of 65 mm and a diameter of 12 mm, this sensor integrates easily into sensor arrays and automated inspection systems requiring high reliability. The sensor’s maximum switching current of 200 mA and supply voltage limit of 36 V DC meet typical industrial control and signal processing requirements.
