Turck BI3-Q06-AP6X2-0.2-PSG3M Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI3-Q06-AP6X2-0.2-PSG3M is a compact inductive proximity sensor that detects metallic targets without contact, enabling reliable position sensing and object detection in tight spaces. It offers a 3 mm sensing distance, a 3‑wire PNP normally open output, 10–30 VDC operating voltage, a maximum switching current of 150 mA, and up to 2 kHz switching frequency, providing fast, PLC-friendly signals. The sensor uses a 3-pin M8 male connector with a 0.2 m pigtail cable, housed in a rectangular Q06 housing made from glass-filled plastic and rated IP67 for rugged industrial environments. Its flush-mount design supports surface mounting on machinery or fixtures, and it operates from −25°C to +70°C. Commonly used in packaging machines, conveyors, assembly equipment, pick-and-place systems, and automated production lines where non-contact metal object detection and position feedback are required, Turck’s BI3 series sensors deliver compact sensing with a built-in LED status indicator. For retrofit or expansion, common replacements include Turck BI3-Q06-AN6X2-0.2-PSG3M, BI2-Q5.5-AP6X-0.2-PSG3M, and BI2-Q8SE-AP6X.
