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,
8, 12, 18 and 30mm diameters, with
smooth or threaded barrels. Connection
options include a 2m cable, micro
quick-disconnect, and pico
quick-disconnect.

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).
