The sensor measures 5 mm in diameter and 38 mm in length, with a stainless-steel housing and a flush-mounting face that enables close mounting to metal targets. It provides a PNP normally-open output in a 3-wire configuration and uses a 3-pin M8 quick-disconnect connector for fast wiring. The sensing distance is 1.5 mm, and the device operates on 10–30 VDC with a switching frequency up to 3 kHz, suitable for high-speed sensing tasks. It carries an IP67 ingress protection rating, and its RoHS-compliant construction supports use in demanding industrial environments. Typical applications include end-of-travel or presence sensing on small automation components, detection of metal parts on conveyors, and general metal-detection duties in compact automation assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AutomationDirect","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51660377227566,"sku":null,"price":87.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_84389b5b-a5e0-471d-a05f-e602af8da3b2.jpg?v=1769537025","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/automationdirect-pd1-ap-3f-proximity-sensor","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
