Turck Bi1,5-EG08-AP6X-V1131 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI1.5-EG08-AP6X-V1131 inductive proximity sensor provides reliable non-contact metal object detection in industrial automation. With a compact M8 × 1 threaded barrel and a 1.5 mm sensing distance, it is well-suited for flush, embeddable mounting in conveyors, packaging equipment, assembly lines, robotic work cells, and other precision manufacturing setups where space is at a premium. It operates on 10–30 VDC and uses a 3‑wire PNP normally open output capable of up to 150 mA, with a switching frequency of 3.0 kHz; the device is wired via an M8 × 1 male connector. Built for harsh environments, the sensor features a stainless steel (AISI 303) housing, IP67 protection, and an operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C, plus short-circuit and reverse polarity protection and an LED indicator for status. The official manufacturer part number is BI1.5-EG08-AP6X-V1131 (4602220), and it is part of Turck’s inductive proximity sensor lineup; common replacements include BI1.5-EG08K-AP6X-V1131, BI1.5-EG08-AP6X-H1341, and BI2-EG08-AP6X-V1131.
