Datasensing AM1/AP-3A868F Sensors

The Datasensing AM1/AP-3A868F Inductive Sensor is designed for precision and reliability in industrial applications. Featuring a shielded M12 flush mount, this sensor offers a nominal sensing distance of 4mm and operates effectively within a range of 0 to 3.2mm. It is equipped with a 5-meter PUR cable for flexible installation and is constructed from durable nickel-plated brass with a PBT active head material, ensuring robust performance in challenging environments. This sensor is engineered with a PNP output type and a normally open (NO) output function, providing a switching frequency of up to 2kHz. It operates on a voltage range of 10 to 30Vdc, with a no-load supply current of ? 10mA and a load current capacity of ? 200mA. The sensor is designed to minimize power loss with an output voltage drop of ? 1.8V at 200mA and features a low leakage current of ? 10?A. For enhanced operational safety, the AM1/AP-3A868F includes short-circuit, reverse polarity, and impulsive overvoltage protection, along with protection against inductive loads. The sensor's performance is further supported by a yellow LED indicator for output state visibility and a time delay before availability of ? 50ms. With a high level of mechanical protection rated at IP67, this sensor is suitable for use in environments with temperatures ranging from -25°C to +70°C. It is compliant with CE and UR approvals and meets EMC compatibility standards as per IEC 60947-5-2. Additionally, it withstands shocks and vibrations according to IEC 60068-2-6 and IEC 60068-2-27 standards. The package includes two M12x1 nuts for secure mounting, and the sensor's dimensions are M12 x 1 with a length of 49.8mm. The Datasensing AM1/AP-3A868F is an ideal choice for applications requiring reliable proximity detection with high repeat accuracy and minimal thermal drift.
