Turck BI7-Q08-AP6X2-V2131 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI7-Q08-AP6X2-V2131 is a compact Q08 series inductive proximity sensor that detects metal targets without contact, making it ideal for space-constrained automation applications. It features a 7 mm sensing distance, 3-wire PNP normally open output, and operates on 10–30 VDC with a maximum current of 200 mA, with built-in short-circuit and reverse polarity protection and LED indication. Built in a 32 × 20 × 8 mm rectangular housing made from Zamak and nickel-plated metal, with an M8 male connector, its IP68 rating and operating temperature range of -25 °C to +70 °C suit rugged industrial environments. Common applications include part presence verification, machine positioning, end-of-travel sensing, conveyor sequencing, and use in packaging, bottling, pick-and-place, and robotic assembly lines.
