BI5-S18-VP4X/S100 Turck Inductive Sensors

Turck BI5-S18-VP4X/S100 is an inductive proximity sensor belonging to the BI...-S18 series, designed for embeddable applications. It operates with a supply voltage range of 10-65Vdc, including nominal values of 12Vdc, 24Vdc, and 48Vdc. The sensor features a housing and sensing face made of PA12-GF30 (glass fiber reinforced Polyamide) and an EPTR (Ethylene Propylene Terpolymer Rubber) end cap, with a PVC cable jacket. It comes pre-wired with a 2m / 6.5ft cable terminated with bare end flying leads. The sensor's shape is an M18 partially threaded barrel, offering a degree of protection rated at IP67. It has a maximum switching frequency of 500Hz and can operate in ambient air temperatures ranging from -25°C to +100°C. The BI5-S18-VP4X/S100 provides 1 x digital output (10-65Vdc; PNP; 200mA max.) and has a no-load current consumption of 15mA. Its sensing distance is 5mm, and it includes protection functions against short-circuit (pulsed), overload, and reverse polarity. The thread size is M18, and it offers operating modes of NO (Normally Open) / NC (Normally Closed) complementary outputs.
