It detects metal objects without contact, making it ideal for industrial automation, CNC machines, and robotics. Its M8 cylindrical housing and IP67 rating ensure durability in harsh environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensing Distance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePNP Normally Open (NO)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6-36V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwitching Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHousing Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNickel-plated Brass, M8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtection Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP67\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Can Build With This\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC limit switch for end-stop detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConveyor belt object counting system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic door control with metal detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3D printer bed leveling sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sensor works with PLCs, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi, but the PNP output requires a voltage divider for 3.3V\/5V logic. Pair with relay modules or optocouplers for high-current loads. Its 6-36V range suits most industrial and hobbyist setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect brown wire to positive supply (6-36V DC), blue to ground, and black to your input device. For microcontrollers, use a 10kΩ-20kΩ voltage divider on black. Ensure the load does not exceed 200mA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing.
