The miniature device uses a chrome-plated metal housing and measures roughly 40 x 26 x 12 mm, enabling easy mounting in crowded control panels, on conveyors, or near machine beds where space is limited. As part of the 871FM miniature flat-pack family, it delivers robust reliability for industrial applications requiring simple, maintenance-free sensing without physical contact. The A2N12-A2 variant shares the line’s core characteristics: a small rectangular sensor that can be mounted flush or on a surface to monitor metal presence as part of automated sequences, end-of-travel sensing, or position checks in manufacturing and packaging equipment. Designed for use in environments where metal-detection is needed in a compact form factor, this sensor integrates with standard control architectures and is compatible with Allen-Bradley systems commonly used across manufacturing facilities worldwide. Its compact footprint and metal face help resist wear in challenging production lines, while the flat-pack design minimizes intrusion into crowded assemblies and supports versatile installation angles and mounting options in industrial automation setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen-Bradley","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51657408938286,"sku":null,"price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_9d7dec41-ba73-4c97-85ea-272e03e01d8c.jpg?v=1769468663","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/allen-bradley-871fm-a2n12-a2-inductive-proximity-switch","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
