Inductive Sensor M30, PNP NO – PRL30-15DP

Autonics PRL30-15DP inductive proximity sensor

High durability, PNP Normally Open, Non-shield (non-flush)

The PRL30-15DP inductive proximity sensor features solid sensing performance and excellent noise immunity with a specialized sensor IC developed by Autonics. This standard cylindrical inductive sensor can be easily used in diverse applications requiring detection of metallic objects without any direct contact.

As a quick report, this inductive proximity sensor provides:

• Non-shield (non-flush) installation

• 30 mm sensing side diameter

• 3-wire cable connection

• Simple operation, reliable performance, and high durability

• Operation indicator (red LED)

• Durable and reliable alternative to micro switches and limit switches

• Built-in surge protection circuit

• Built-in over current protection circuit

• Built-in reverse polarity protection circuit

Body

The PRL30-15DP case is made of nickel-plated brass, its washer is made of nickel-plated iron, and the material of its sensing side is PBT.

Protection structure of this cheap proximity sensor is IP67 (IEC standard).

This sensor has a red LED as the operation indicator on its body.

Connection

Connection of the PRL30-15DP is cable type which contains a cable covering its 3 wires. This standard cable is black and made of PVC.

Sensing specifications

The diameter of the PRL30-15DP sensing side is 30 mm and its sensing distance is 15 mm. Although almost no one talks about the setting distance of an inductive sensor, it should be announced that for this sensor, it is 0 to 10.5 mm.

Also, it should always be considered that this data is reported for the secure and standard sensing target, which is an 45x45x1 mm piece made of iron, for this product.

Control output

The control output of the case study proximity sensor is PNP Normally Open.

Temperature

There are limitations in environment temperature and humidity in which PRL30-15DP proximity sensor is used:

• Ambient temperature: -25 … 70°C

• Ambient humidity: 35 to 95%RH

• Storage temperature: -30 … 80°C

• Storage humidity: 35 to 95%RH

Environment resistance is rated at no freezing or condensation.

It’s better not to use this product outside of these ranges, in order to keep it stable.
