Autonics CR30-15DP Capacitive Proximity Sensor

Autonics CR30-15DP Capacitive Proximity Sensor detects nearby objects without physical contact by sensing changes in capacitance between its sensing face and the target. This non-contact sensing principle makes it suitable for detecting a wide range of materials in automation lines without mechanical wear. The unit provides a PNP normally open (NO) output, meaning the load is connected to the positive supply and the sensor output closes to +V when a target is detected, delivering a discrete signal to the control system. It operates on a supply voltage range of 12 to 24 V DC, allowing integration with common industrial electronics and single-supply cabinets without requiring special power supplies. The CR30-15DP is designed to be used as a sensing element in control circuits that require a clear, on/off proximity input from a non-contact sensor, making it a straightforward option for position sensing, presence detection, and basic automation sequencing where direct contact is undesirable.
