RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M8 x 1 PNP Output 4 mm Detection 30V DC 150mA Stainless Steel IP68 208-083

The RS PRO 208-083 is a threaded barrel inductive proximity sensor designed for precise detection of metal objects without contact. With an M8 x 1 thread, PNP output, and a 4 mm sensing range, this sensor is optimized for automation and control applications where reliability and resilience are required.

Featuring a stainless steel body, the sensor provides high resistance to wear, corrosion, and harsh industrial conditions. Its IP68 rating ensures complete protection against dust ingress and water immersion, making it ideal for food processing, manufacturing, and environments with frequent washdowns or exposure to moisture.

Performance parameters include a maximum supply voltage of 30V DC, 150mA switching current, and a rapid switching frequency up to 2 kHz, supporting fast-paced production lines and signal processing. The sensor's non-flush mounting design allows enhanced detection outside its surface, which is beneficial for applications demanding high sensitivity.

Suitable for process control, material handling, agricultural machinery, and automated assembly, the RS PRO 208-083 operates within a wide temperature range from -30°C to +85°C. The integrated M12 four-pin terminal streamlines installation and wire management, while reverse polarity and short-circuit protection help safeguard connected systems.

This sensor can detect both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, offering flexibility for use cases such as conveyor monitoring, packaging, robotic positioning, and food industry operation. Its rugged construction and fast response make it well-suited for high-volume and critical detection tasks.

Threaded barrel sensor with integrated stainless steel housing for exceptional durability. Detects metal objects within a 4 mm sensing distance, works with both ferrous and non-ferrous targets. PNP output works with positive logic control equipment, maximizes industrial compatibility.

IP68 rating assures resistance to dust and water; fits demanding washdown and food applications. Wide temperature tolerance from -30°C to +85°C supports operation in refrigerated, heated, or outdoor facilities. Non-flush mounting allows unshielded sensitivity beyond mounting surface.

M12 connector simplifies maintenance and installation. Operates at up to 2 kHz switching frequency for rapid industrial processes.

Industries served include industrial automation, manufacturing, food processing, agricultural equipment, robotics, and material handling. For further product selection, browse the Proximity Sensor category and the RS PRO brand on EnvMart.
