Ideal for industrial control systems and DIY automation. Pair it with a relay module for high-current loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard 3-wire: brown (+V), blue (GND), black (signal). Since the output is NPN sinking, connect a 10kΩ pull-up resistor between black and your microcontroller’s VCC (5V or 3.3V) to read logic high when inactive. Do not exceed 36 V supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\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\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this compatible with Arduino?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, with a 10kΩ pull-up resistor on the signal line to the Arduino digital pin. The sensor requires external 6–36 VDC, so do not power it from the Arduino's 5V pin directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat materials can it detect?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis inductive sensor detects all metals, including iron, steel, aluminum, brass, and copper.
