Allen-Bradley 871C-P1C8 is a DC-powered inductive proximity switch in the 871C family, designed for non-contact detection of metal targets in compact automation layouts. It operates on 10–30 V DC and provides a PNP output with a 1 mm sensing distance, making it suitable for tight spaces where precise metal-target sensing is required. Typical uses include presence and end-of-travel sensing on small machines and conveyors, where rugged, contactless detection helps protect equipment and improve cycle reliability.
