Autonics PRL12-4DP Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Autonics PRL12-4DP is a cylindrical M12 inductive proximity sensor with a 4 mm sensing distance, designed for non-contact detection of metal targets in compact automation layouts. This three-wire DC sensor operates from a 10-30 V DC supply and provides a DC output suitable for direct connection to standard control circuits, with an IP67-rated enclosure that stands up to dusty or damp factory environments. The 2 m cable length supports flexible mounting and convenient routing in tight spaces, while the M12 thread enables easy integration with common panel and rail-mounted assemblies. In practice, it serves as a reliable metal-detection and position-sensing solution for small conveyors, automated cells, and robotic fixtures, delivering durable performance without mechanical wear.
