Turck BI5-G18SK-AZ3X2 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI5-G18SK-AZ3X2 inductive proximity sensor is a compact M18-threaded device that non-contact-detects metallic targets in industrial automation, operating on AC and DC control circuits. It features a 5 mm sensing distance, a 2-wire normally open output, and an operating voltage range of 20–250 VAC / 10–300 VDC, with AC rated current ≤ 400 mA, DC rated current ≤ 300 mA, and a minimum operating current ≥ 3 mA, suitable for both relay-controlled and PLC-based systems. The chrome-plated brass housing (M18 x 1) with a PA plastic active face offers IP67 protection and a short barrel for limited mounting depth, enabling flush mounting in conveyors, packaging machines, assembly equipment, and machine tools. Operating temperature ranges from −25°C to +70°C, and the sensor includes AC/DC universal operation, reverse polarity protection, overload protection, and LED switching indication.
