Turck NI5-G12K-AP6X Inductive Proximity Switch

The TURCK NI5-G12K-AP6X is a compact inductive proximity switch with a 5 mm sensing distance, designed for non-contact metal detection in harsh industrial environments. It operates on 10-30 VDC with a 3‑wire PNP normally open output, and features an M12 threaded barrel, nickel-plated brass housing, non-flush mounting, and IP67 protection for reliable performance in conveyors, packaging equipment, automotive manufacturing lines, assembly equipment, and material handling systems. This sensor tolerates -25°C to +70°C, offers short‑circuit and reverse‑polarity protection, supports up to 2 kHz switching frequency, and provides connector or cable versions depending on configuration; common replacements include TURCK NI5-M12-AP6X, NI5-G12SK-AP6X, and NI8-M18-AP6X.
