PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ALLEN BRADLEY 872C-D2NN8-E2 - Capacitive Proximity Sensor
The ALLEN BRADLEY 872C-D2NN8-E2 is an M18 cylindrical capacitive proximity sensor engineered for reliable non-contact detection of both metallic and non-metallic targets, including liquids, powders, and granular materials. This DC-powered sensor features a 2-wire NPN normally open output, providing discrete presence detection signals for integration into industrial control systems. It is suitable for applications requiring object position sensing, level monitoring, or material flow verification in demanding industrial environments.
