Inductive Proximity Sensors

Bulletin 871C
Plastic Face/Plastic Barrel or Nickel-Plated Brass Barrel

Description
Bulletin 871C inductive proximity sensors are self-contained, general purpose, solid-state devices designed to sense the presence of ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects without touching them. The switch body consists of a plastic face and either a nickel-plated brass barrel or plastic barrel. The electronic circuitry is potted for protection against shock, vibration, and contamination. These sensors are available in 3, 4, 5, 6.5, 8, 12, 18 and 30mm diameters, with smooth or threaded barrels. Connection options include a 2m cable, micro quick-disconnect, and pico quick-disconnect.

Features
S Cable or quick-disconnect styles S Short circuit protection S Overload protection S Transient noise protection S False pulse protection S Reverse polarity protection S CE marked for all applicable directives (most models)

Description
Bulletin 871C inductive proximity sensors are self-contained, solid state devices designed for most industrial applications where it is required to sense the presence of metal objects without touching them. These special extended temperature models are ideal for industrial environments where temperatures can reach as high as 212_F (100_C) or as low as 40_F (40_C). They are available for current source (PNP) operation with a normally open output. Each switch has a plastic face and a nickel-plated brass housing which meet NEMA 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 13 and IP67 (IEC 529) enclosure standards. The electronic circuitry is potted for protection against shock, vibration, and contamination. These sensors are available in 12, 18, and 30mm diameters. Connection options include: 2m (6.5ft) PUR cable or micro quick-disconnect (4 pin, 1 keyway).

Description
Bulletin 871C inductive proximity sensors are self-contained, solid-state devices designed to sense the presence of metal objects without touching them. This special version provides a 010V sourcing analog output proportional to the sensing distance. This device is enclosed by a plastic face and a nickel-plated brass housing which meets NEMA 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 13 and IP67 (IEC 529) enclosure standards. The electronic circuitry is potted for protection against shock, vibration and contamination. This sensor is available in 12, 18 and 30mm diameters with a 2m (6.5ft.) PVC cable connection.

Features
S 3-wire operation S 1830V DC S Short circuit, overload, reverse polarity, and transient noise protection S 010V sourcing analog output S CE marked for all applicable directives
