Turck Bi2-Q4.7-AP6X-0.3-PSG3M Inductive Proximity Sensor

Turck BI2-Q4.7-AP6X-0.3-PSG3M is a compact inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation. It features a 2 mm sensing distance, operates on 10-30 VDC with a 3-Wire PNP normally open output, and is suited for PLC-controlled position sensing on packaging machines, conveyors, assembly equipment, robotic work cells, and automated production lines where space is limited. Housed in a rectangular Q4.7 GD-ZnAl metal body measuring 16 x 8 x 4.7 mm, it offers IP67 protection and a flush-mount design with an integrated 0.3 m 3-pin M8 pigtail connector. The sensor supports up to 150 mA switching current and up to 1 kHz switching frequency, enabling reliable rapid metal-object detection. Key identifiers include Manufacturer: Turck, MPN: BI2-Q4.7-AP6X-0.3-PSG3M, Identification Number: 1614005. Common replacements include BI2-Q5.5-AP6X-0.2-PSG3M and BI2-Q8SE-AP6X, reflecting its use in retrofit, expansion, or repair of automation systems in packaging, material handling, and assembly applications.
