RS PRO Cylindrical Inductive Proximity Sensor, M30 x 1.5 PNP 30V 15 mm 30 V dc 200mA

SICK Proximity Sensor, 15mm Maximum Detection, M30x1.5 Thread Size - 1113876

This proximity sensor is a stainless-steel, cylindrical inductive device designed to detect plastic targets in industrial automation environments. It is intended for flush mounting and operates from a low-voltage DC supply, providing a normally open PNP switching output suited to machines and installations where resistance to coolants and lubricants and high ingress protection are required.

Features & Benefits

• 15mm sensing range enables consistent target detection
  PNP switching supports common automation wiring practices
  10V to 30V supply range suits standard industrial DC systems
  IP68 and IP69K enclosure withstands immersion and high-pressure washdown
  200mA continuous current handles typical actuator loads

**Applications**

• Suitable for mobile machinery position sensing in wet conditions
  Ideal for coolant-laden machining centres requiring flush mounting
  Used with conveyors for plastic part detection in assembly lines
  Can be used for proximity detection in food-processing washdown zones

What connector type does it use for electrical connection?

It connects via a male M12 4‑pin connector with gold‑plated contact pins for reliable contact.

How does the construction support harsh mechanical environments?

The housing is stainless steel with a plastic sensing face and includes a stainless-steel mounting nut with locking teeth for secure installation.

What protections are included for electrical faults?

Built‑in short‑circuit, reverse‑polarity and power‑up Pulse protections reduce the risk from common wiring errors.

What temperature range can it operate within?

It is rated to function between −40°C to +100°C for use in a wide span of industrial thermal conditions.

Is the sensor suitable for high‑speed switching applications?

Yes, it supports up to 500Hz switching frequency and reproducibility better than 2% under specified conditions.
