Weld Immune Proximity Sensor M18, PNP NO, Flush – DW-AS-623-M18-120

DESCRIPTION

Contrinex proximity sensor M18, PNP NO – DW-AS-623-M18-120

Embeddable (flush), M12 4-pin, 8 mm Sensing distance

The Contrinex proximity sensor DW-AS-623-M5 features outstanding noise protection and stable sensing performance due to its specialized sensor IC developed by Contrinex. This sensor comes in a round cylindrical shape, sensing distance of 8mm, sensing side diameter and housing size of M18, and shield (flush) installation. The standard cylindrical inductive sensor can be used in diverse applications requiring non-contact detection of metallic objects.

As a quick report, this inductive proximity sensor provides:

  • 18 mm sensing side diameter
  • PNP Normally Open control output
  • 8 mm sensing distance
  • Embeddable (flush) installation
  • Long life cycle and simple operations
  • protections against short-circuits, induced overvoltages, and power supply reversal built-in
  • IP67 ingress protection structure according to IEC standards
  • Red LED status indicator

Body

This Contrinex proximity sensor’s case and nut parts are made of Nickel-plated brass and its sensing side is made of PBTP.

The DW-AS-623-M18-120 features IP67 ingress protection.

The LED on its body acts as the process indicator.

Connection

The Contrinex proximity sensor DW-AS-623-M18-120 features a potted connector S12 connection. It is a 4-pin M12 electrical connection.

Sensing specifications

This inductive sensor’s sensing side diameter is 18 mm. This sensor’s maximum distance to detect its standard sensing target, which is a 24x24x1 mm piece of iron, is 8 mm. This so-called sensing distance differs from one sensing target to another, based on their material, size, etc. You could find out the sensing distance in Contrinex proximity sensors with a correction factor, mentioned in their datasheet.

This flush M18 prox sensor also features 0.4 mm repeat accuracy.

Control output

The DW-AS-623-M18-120 features PNP Normally Open control output. PNP stands for Positive-Negative-Positive transistors.

Temperature

The ambient temperature range that the DW-AS-623-M18-120 flush M18 prox sensor works properly in is -25 … 70°C.
