RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor, M12 x 1 PNP 30V dc 2 mm 30 V dc 200mA

SICK Proximity Sensor, 2mm Maximum Detection, M12 x 1 Thread Size - 1050864

This proximity sensor is an inductive M12 threaded barrel device designed for short-range object detection in industrial automation environments. It operates from a low-voltage DC supply and is suited to flush mounting where compact, sealed sensing is required. The metal housing and ingress protection make it appropriate for manufacturing and processing installations where a small, robust sensor is needed.

Features & Benefits

• PNP-NO output provides simple sourcing switching for control inputs
  2mm detection distance enables tight positional sensing in assemblies
  10 to 30 V DC range supports common industrial supply rails
  200mA switching current permits direct drive of many control devices
  2kHz switching frequency handles Rapid Pulse detection without LAG
  IP67 metal housing offers dust-tight and immersion protection

**Applications**

• Suitable for position sensing on assembly line conveyors
  Ideal for end-of-arm tooling proximity detection in robotics
  Used for metal target detection in press and stamping machines
  Can be used for presence monitoring on packaging machinery
  Suitable for integration with PLC inputs in control panels

What mounting style does it require for correct operation?

It is designed for flush mounting in threaded M12 x 1 sockets to maintain nominal sensing performance when installed to the manufacturer's clearance.

How is wiring implemented for control systems?

The device uses a three-wire PNP configuration with an M12 4‑pin connection for signal, supply and protective wiring, and includes reverse-polarity and overload protection.

What thermal range can it withstand during continuous operation?

It operates between −25°C to +75°C, allowing use across typical factory ambient conditions without derating.

Which mechanical stresses has it been tested against?

The sensor tolerates shock and vibration levels specified as 30g for short shocks and vibration across 10 to 55 Hz at 1mm amplitude.
