XKC-Y26 PNP 24V Non-Contact Liquid Level Sensor – Compoden
XKC-Y26 PNP 24V Intelligent Non-Contact Liquid Level Sensor
The XKC-Y26 is an intelligent non-contact capacitive liquid level sensor that detects fluid levels through non-metal container walls up to 6mm thick. Operating at 24V with PNP output, it switches when liquid is present, making it ideal for industrial tanks, aquariums, and water purification systems. No direct liquid contact eliminates corrosion and contamination risks.

Compatibility
Designed for 24V industrial systems with PNP input, this sensor integrates easily with PLCs, relay modules, and microcontrollers. For Arduino or Raspberry Pi, use a voltage divider or optocoupler to convert the 24V output to logic-level signals. Common pairings include automation controllers, Sump pump switches, and SCADA systems.
Wiring Notes
Connect brown wire to +24V, blue to GND, and black to your control input. The PNP output sources current when liquid is detected; ensure your input circuit can sink at least 10mA safely. No pull-up resistor is needed as the output is active-high.
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, but a voltage divider or optocoupler is required to step down the 24V PNP output to the 5V logic safe for Arduino pins.
Can it detect liquid through glass or plastic?
Absolutely—it works through any non-metallic material up to 6mm thick, including glass, plastic, and ceramic containers.
Does it include a sensitivity adjustment?
No, the XKC-Y26 has fixed sensitivity calibrated for common water-based liquids; proper mounting is sufficient for reliable detection.
