Capacitive Proximity Sensor (1-10 mm)

This capacitive proximity sensor offers reliable non-contact detection for both metallic and non-metallic objects across an adjustable 1 mm to 10 mm range. Encased in a rugged IP67-rated enclosure, it provides a dependable sensing solution for makers, students, and hobbyists building automation, security, and positioning projects.

Versatile non-metallic object detection

Unlike inductive switches that detect only metals, this capacitive sensor identifies metals and non-metallic static objects. The detection range is adjustable between 1 mm and 10 mm, reaching up to 20 mm for metallic materials depending on object size and conductivity.

Weatherproof IP67 enclosure

Fully encased in a durable PBT plastic shell, the sensor delivers IP67 dust and water resistance for indoor and outdoor installations. It operates stably across an ambient temperature range from -25°C up to 70°C with minimal thermal drift.

Fast response and built-in protection

Operating from DC 10V to 30V, the sensor provides a PNP normally open output with a response time below 1.5 ms and a 50 Hz switching frequency. Integrated circuitry safeguards against short circuits, overloads, and reverse polarity.

Real-time status and standard wiring

A built-in indicator light provides immediate feedback on the sensor status during operation. Standard three-wire connections use brown for power positive, blue for ground negative, and black for the high-level signal line.

Compact profile and included tools

Measuring 50 x 20 x 10 mm, the compact module fits into tight mechanical assemblies. The package includes one capacitive proximity sensor and one adjustment screwdriver for calibration.
