Pepperl+Fuchs NBB158GM30E2CV1 Proximity Switch

The Pepperl+Fuchs NBB158GM30E2CV1 Proximity Switch is a compact inductive sensor that detects metal targets without contact for machine control and positioning in automated systems. It uses an M8 threaded barrel with a 30 mm housing length and M8×1 thread, configured for flush-mount (shielded) installation and a 1.5 mm nominal sensing distance. It provides a PNP normally open, 3-wire DC output powered from 10–30 VDC and can switch up to 200 mA; the connection is via an M12 V1 connector, and the housing is nickel-plated brass with IP67 protection, suitable for -25°C to +70°C operation. LED status indication, reverse polarity protection, and short-circuit protection enhance reliability in harsh environments. Common applications include conveyor systems, packaging equipment, automated production lines, and machine tools where reliable metal object detection or presence sensing is required, with the NBB series often used to replace mechanical limit switches; country of origin is Germany typical for original production units.
