Operating on AC voltage (typically 90–250 V AC) with a normally open (NO) output, this 2-wire sensor simplifies installation by combining power and signal in a single cable pair. Ideal for industrial automation, assembly lines, and safety interlock applications where reliable metal sensing is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\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\u003eSensor Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInductive proximity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensing Distance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90–250 V AC (50\/60 Hz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNormally open (NO)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-wire (series with load)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM18 (18 mm threaded barrel)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Can Build With This\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndustrial conveyor belt object presence detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine safety guards and interlock sensing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomated counting of metal parts on production lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition feedback for pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder end stops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis AC-powered sensor is built for industrial control systems and interfaces directly with PLC inputs, relay coils, contactors, or small solenoid valves. It is not intended for low-voltage DC circuits such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi without an intermediate relay or optocoupler. The sensor’s M18 threaded body fits standard mounting brackets and industrial fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2-wire design requires the sensor to be wired in series with the load, similar to a mechanical limit switch. Ensure the load current (typically 5–200 mA) falls within the sensor’s switching capacity. No separate power supply is needed—the sensor draws its operating power from the AC line through the load when in the off state, so a minimum load (e.g., a relay coil) must be present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this compatible with Arduino or other microcontroller boards?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot directly, because it operates on 90–250 V AC and switches AC loads. To interface with 5 V DC logic, you must use an isolated relay module or optocoupler circuit driven by the sensor’s output.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan it detect non‑ferrous metals like aluminum or copper?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, but with reduced sensing range. The 8 mm specification is for a standard mild steel target; for aluminum or copper, the detection distance may drop to approximately 4–6 mm depending on the material and thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the maximum switching current?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sensor typically handles 5–200 mA AC. Ensure the connected load (relay, contactor, lamp) operates within this range. For larger loads, add an external contactor or power relay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"compoden-handoff\" style=\"margin-top:24px;padding:16px;background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #2B4D8F;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#1A3560;\"\u003e📦 Free Setup Handoff Document Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;color:#333;\"\u003eEvery Compoden order includes a free setup handoff document — step-by-step instructions to get your component working within minutes.
