Carlo Gavazzi CA30CAN25PAM1 Capacitive Proximity Switch

CA30CAN25PAM1 is Carlo Gavazzi’s 30 mm capacitive proximity sensor designed for non-flush mounting, delivering a 25 mm nominal sensing distance with an adjustable window from 4 to 30 mm. It operates on 10–40 V DC and provides a PNP output with both NO and NC contacts through an M12 connector, all contained in a cylindrical plastic housing (M30 x 62.5 mm). The unit BENEFITS from a 4th Generation Tripleshield for enhanced EMI suppression and ECOLAB compatibility, making it suitable for demanding environments. With ingress protection ratings IP67, IP68 and IP69K, it stands up to washdown and harsh industrial conditions, while the durable plastic housing and compact form factor support installation in tight spaces. The CA30CAN25PAM1 is part of Carlo Gavazzi’s CA30 family of capacitive sensors, offering reliable non-contact detection of dielectric targets in automation and packaging lines, conveyors, and machine panels, where consistent presence sensing behind insulating materials is required. The device is designed for DC operation with a PNP NO+NC output and uses an M12 connection for straightforward wiring; the E-number is 3830391, underscoring its documented industrial-grade lineage. Operating ambient temperature ranges commonly cited for this model span from -30 °C to 85 °C, aligning with its rugged wash-down readiness and suitability for tough production environments.
