Measuring Ø3 mm by 22 mm, it has a stainless steel housing with flush-mount capability and a 2 m PVC cable, delivering a 3-wire NPN normally-open (NO) output for easy integration into industrial controls. It senses metal targets at a nominal distance of 0.6 mm and switches at up to 5 kHz, operating on 10-30 VDC with a maximum load current of 100 mA and a voltage drop of up to 2.0 V. The unit is IP67-rated, operates from -25 C to +70 C, and features a polyester sensing face with a yellow LED indicator that shows when the output is energized; it also includes reverse polarity protection and short-circuit protection with auto-reset. Weighing roughly 23 g, the PY3-AN-1A carries UL safety approval (UL file E328811) and is well-suited for compact position sensing, end-of-travel detection, and routine metal-detection tasks in tight automation spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AUTOMATION","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51660366872878,"sku":null,"price":104.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_b3e522bb-90cb-4ca9-af95-dc175ba46322.jpg?v=1769536848","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/automation-direct-py3-an-1a-inductive-proximity-sensor","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
