RS PRO Block Capacitive Proximity Sensor 13 mm NPN 200mA 30V 1000V AC 30V DC 184-5572

RS PRO 184-5572 Block Capacitive Proximity Sensor offers precise and reliable detection of virtually any object, metallic or non-metallic, with a sensing distance of 13 mm. The sensor is encased in a robust polybutylene terephthalate body, designed for industrial environments requiring high durability and resistance.

This sensor operates on a non-flush mount style featuring a pre-cabled 2-meter PVC connection cable, facilitating installation and connection in diverse automation setups. The NPN output configuration supports switching currents up to 200mA at a maximum switching frequency of 60Hz, making it suited for medium-speed detection tasks.

Designed to work under ambient conditions ranging from -10°C up to 55°C and rated IP67, the sensor withstands challenging industrial conditions, including dust and water exposure. It supports a maximum supply voltage of 30V DC and 1000V AC, compliant with IEC and CE standards, assuring quality and safety in operation.

The unshielded design provides heightened sensitivity, enabling detection of various materials and offering flexibility across multiple applications including manufacturing process control, packaging, level sensing, and laboratory instrumentation.

Capacitive proximity technology employed here leverages changes in capacitance caused by the presence of nearby objects, facilitating non-contact sensing critical for delicate or hazardous environments.

Typical uses include detection of liquids, solids, and granular materials, and it is suitable for automation, industrial manufacturing, laboratory equipment, and quality assurance systems.
