Turck BI5-M18-RP6X-H1143 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI5-M18-RP6X-H1143 is a compact inductive proximity sensor that detects metallic targets without contact at a 5 mm sensing distance, making it well-suited for conveyor systems, packaging lines, and automated assembly equipment. It offers AC/DC universal operation with a 2-wire normally open output, enabling relay-compatible switching across 20-250 VAC or 10-300 VDC, and it draws 3-100 mA with a 20 Hz switching frequency. The device features an M12 x 1 male connector, a threaded M18 x 1 barrel, and a chrome-plated brass housing designed for flush mounting in harsh industrial environments; it carries an IP67 rating and operates from -25°C to +70°C, weighing about 59 g. Built-in protections include reverse polarity and overload protection, plus an LED indicator to confirm switching events. This sensor is typically used for position sensing and non-contact metal object detection in conveyors, packaging machinery, machine tools, and manufacturing equipment where PLC-controlled processes benefit from reliable, non-contact feedback. Replacement options include BI5-M18-AP6X-H1141 and BI5-M18-AN6X-H1141.
