It arrives with a pre-wired PUR cable (30 cm) terminated by a 4-pin M12 A-coded connector for quick, plug-and-play installation in automation equipment. The sensor operates on 10–30 V DC and provides a single PNP normally‑open output rated up to 200 mA, making it suitable for direct interfacing with standard industrial controllers. Its rugged construction features a die-cast zinc housing with a PUR jacketed cable and a PBT sensing surface, and it carries an IP67 rating for dust and water ingress protection, with an ambient temperature range up to approximately +70°C. In practice, this model supports high switching frequencies (up to about 5 kHz) and is commonly used for position sensing on conveyors, tooling, and other machine‑level applications where robust, non-contact metal detection is required. The BES-516-300-S166-PU-3 variant aligns with Balluff’s BES 516 family, delivering dependable performance in demanding industrial environments while maintaining straightforward integration through its M12 connection and standardized 10–30 V DC supply. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Balluff","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51676474605870,"sku":null,"price":116.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_8628de34-6f37-4719-8a7f-a7dc611636c2.jpg?v=1769551490","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/industrial-bes-516-300-s-166-pu-3-proximity-switch","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
