Inductive sensor PL-05N, NO/NPN 10-30VDC

The PL-05N inductive sensor is a non-contact sensor designed for detecting metal objects in industrial and automation applications. The design with a rectangular body allows for fixed mounting in structures and machine units. The sensor is equipped with a 100 cm cable and is suitable for tasks where output switching is required when approaching a metal target without mechanical contact.
