BCE3-S12-AP6X Turck Capacitive Sensors

Turck BCE3-S12-AP6X is a capacitive proximity sensor/switch that falls under the BC...-S12 series. This embeddable design sensor operates with a supply voltage of 10-30Vdc, including nominal values of 12Vdc and 24Vdc. It features a housing and sensing face made of PA12-GF30, a glass fiber reinforced Polyamide, and a PVC cable jacket. The sensor is connected via a pre-wired 2m / 6.5ft cable that terminates with bare end flying leads. It has an M12 partially threaded barrel shape and offers a degree of protection rated at IP65. The BCE3-S12-AP6X operates with a maximum switching frequency of 50Hz and can function within an ambient air temperature range of -10°C to +60°C. It includes 1 x digital output (10-30Vdc; PNP; 100mA max.) and has a sensing distance of 3mm. Protection functions include short-circuit (pulsed), overload, and reverse polarity. The thread size is M12, and it operates in a Normally Open (NO) mode.
