Bernstein M18AS 005-L2 Proximity Switch

Bernstein’s KIB-M18AS/005-L2 inductive proximity switch in an M18 housing provides a 5 mm nominal sensing distance for metal targets, packaged as a flush‑mount, 2‑wire AC output sensor. The NO (normally open) contact is wired via a 2 m cable (2 conductors of 0.5 mm²) for straightforward integration into control circuits. This variant, identified by Bernstein part number 650-3505-004, is designed for flush installation, enabling a low-profile footprint in tight spaces. It supports operation in ambient temperatures from -25°C to +70°C and carries IP67 protection for dust and water resistance in industrial environments. The M18AS/005-L2 family is commonly used for machine automation tasks such as position sensing, limit switching, and process monitoring where a compact inductive sensor with a robust enclosure is required.
