AutomationDirect PNM6-AN-4H Inductive Proximity Sensor

AutomationDirect PNM6-AN-4H is a tubular inductive proximity sensor with a 12 mm diameter and 45 mm long bronze-plated brass housing that detects metallic targets within a 7 mm sensing distance. It is unshielded and provides a normally open (NO) output via a 4‑pin M12 connector, making it straightforward to integrate into compact automation layouts. The sensor operates with a switching frequency up to 700 Hz and is ruggedized for industrial environments, carrying IP65 through IP69K protection ratings to withstand dust, water spray, and high-pressure washdown in harsh facilities. Designed for non-flush mounting in constrained spaces, the PNM6-AN-4H is commonly used for end‑of‑travel and presence sensing on conveyors, presses, and other automated machinery where reliable metal-detection at short ranges is required. Its robust metal housing and compact tubular form balance durability with space efficiency, delivering dependable sensing in challenging manufacturing environments.
