Miniature inductive proximity sensors from AutomationDirect

May 18, 2016 By Patrick Curran Leave a Comment

AutomationDirect’s miniature inductive proximity sensors are now available in sizes ranging from 4mm to 8mm and feature stainless steel shielded housings. Offered as NPN or PNP models and with normally-open or normally-closed outputs, sensors are available with standard sensing distances of 0.8mm or 1.5mm; available extended distance models have either 1.5mm or 2mm sensing ranges. The miniature sensors are IP67-rated, are equipped with a 360-degree-visible yellow output LED and come with built-in overload protection. Starting at $16.00, models are offered with an attached 2-meter axial cable or with an M8 connector; axial and right angle zinc-plated mounting brackets are also available for $1.00 each. The new miniature inductive proximity sensors are CE, RoHs and Reach compliant.

Tech Toolbox: Wide Bandgap Semiconductors
Moving from silicon to GaN or SiC feels like a whole new ballgame, doesn’t it? It isn’t just about faster switching; it’s about managing the layout parasitics and thermal realities that come with that speed. This month’s Tech Toolbox features a curated eBook that tackles these design hurdles head-on.
