PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ALLEN BRADLEY 872C-D4NP12-E2 - Capacitive Proximity Sensor
The ALLEN BRADLEY 872C-D4NP12-E2 is a 30mm cylindrical capacitive proximity sensor engineered for non-contact detection of both metallic and non-metallic targets, including liquids, powders, and granular materials. It features a 4mm nominal sensing distance, NPN/PNP configurable solid-state output, and operates on a 10-30V DC supply, making it suitable for level control, object detection through non-metallic barriers, and general presence sensing in industrial automation and material handling applications.
