Pepperl+Fuchs NBN12-18GM35-E2-V1 Inductive Proximity Sensor 12mm Detection PNP NO Output IP67 M12 Connector

1. Sensing Capabilities​

The Pepperl + Fuchs NBN12 - 18GM35 - E2 - V1 is an inductive sensor designed for accurate object detection in industrial environments. With a rated operating distance of 12 mm, it can precisely sense metallic objects within this range. The assured operating distance, typically between 0 and 9.72 mm, ensures reliable performance. It has a high switching frequency of up to 1500 Hz, allowing for rapid response to the presence or absence of targets. The PNP output in a 3 - wire configuration makes it highly compatible with a wide range of industrial control systems. A distinct yellow LED switching state indicator provides clear visual feedback on its operational status, making it easy to monitor in real - time.​

2. Physical Build​

This sensor comes in a durable nickel - plated brass housing with an 18 - mm diameter. The sensing face, made of PBT material, contributes to its reliable detection performance. It has an IP67 protection rating, which means it can resist dust and withstand temporary submersion in water, suitable for harsh industrial conditions. The non - flush installation design, along with nuts for mounting and a tightening torque of 0 - 30 Nm, offers flexibility in placement. Additionally, it can operate within an ambient temperature range of - 40 °C to +85 °C, ensuring consistent performance across different environmental conditions.​

3. Electrical Characteristics​

Operating within a voltage range of 10 - 30 V DC, the NBN12 - 18GM35 - E2 - V1 is well - suited for standard industrial power supplies. It features reverse polarity protection, safeguarding against incorrect voltage connections that could potentially damage the sensor. The short - circuit protection, implemented as pulsing, ensures the sensor's safety during electrical faults. The voltage drop is ≤ 1.5 V, and the operating current ranges from 0 - 200 mA, while the no - load supply current is ≤ 10 mA. This energy - efficient design makes it an ideal choice for long - term continuous operation in industrial automation setups.
