Capacitive Proximity Sensor (1-10 mm)
37 units available with a short lead time.
A capacitive proximity sensor with an adjustable detection range of 1–10 mm, capable of detecting both metallic and non-metallic objects. Unlike inductive sensors that only respond to metals, this capacitive sensor detects anything with sufficient dielectric properties — including plastics, wood, glass, liquids, and more.
Housed in a fully enclosed PBT plastic shell with IP67 waterproof and dustproof protection, it operates on a 10–30V DC supply and outputs a PNP normally-open (high-level) signal. Built-in short circuit, overload, and reverse polarity protection make it reliable for industrial and hobbyist applications alike.
