Compatibility
This sensor works with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and industrial PLCs. It requires an external pull-up resistor (10kΩ typical) when interfacing with 5V or 3.3V logic. The NPN output sinks current when metal is detected, making it compatible with most digital input circuits.
Wiring Notes
Three-wire connection: Brown to positive supply (6-36V DC), Blue to ground, Black to NPN output. For microcontroller use, connect a pull-up resistor from the Black wire to the microcontroller’s supply voltage and read as a digital input.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino?
Yes, it works with Arduino when using an external pull-up resistor (10kΩ) on the output line. Connect the Black wire to a digital input pin and add the resistor to VCC.
What is the maximum switching frequency?
This sensor supports up to 500Hz switching frequency, suitable for high-speed counting applications like motor RPM measurement.
Can it detect non-metallic objects?
No, inductive sensors only detect ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It will not respond to plastic, wood, or liquids.
