Turck NI8U-M12-AP4X Inductive Proximity Sensor

The TURCK NI8U-M12-AP4X Inductive Proximity Sensor delivers reliable, non-contact metal target detection with an 8 mm rated operating distance using uprox Factor 1 sensing. This 3-wire PNP Normally Open device operates on 10-65 VDC and uses an M12 × 1 threaded barrel with a chrome-plated brass housing for robust industrial use. With a 4-pin M12 male connector, it supports up to 200 mA load current, switches at up to 1 kHz, and carries IP67 protection across temperatures from -25°C to +70°C. Key features include Factor 1 sensing for consistent metal detection across ferrous and non-ferrous targets, magnet field resistance, reverse polarity protection, short-circuit protection, and non-flush mounting ideal for conveyor systems, packaging equipment, and automated material handling. Common replacements include NI8U-M12-AP6X-H1141, NI8-M12-AP6X-H1141, and NI8U-M18-AP6X-H1141.
