Turck NI5-P12SK-AP6X Inductive Proximity Sensor

The TURCK NI5-P12SK-AP6X Inductive Proximity Sensor detects metallic targets at a 5 mm sensing distance with a 3‑wire PNP normally open output for reliable non‑contact sensing in metalworking environments. It operates on 10–30 VDC, features an M12 x 1 threaded barrel, PA12-GF30 reinforced plastic housing, IP67 protection, and a switching frequency of 1.5 kHz with a maximum load current of 200 mA. Designed for industrial automation, it supports non‑flush mounting, a -25°C to +70°C operating range, and includes short‑circuit and reverse polarity protection. Common applications include conveyor control, packaging equipment, automated assembly lines, and material transfer where metal target detection is required; common replacements include TURCK NI5-M12-AP6X, NI5-G12K-AP6X, and NI8-M18-AP6X.
