Product FAQ

What is the benefit of this 3-wire M12 sensor over 2-wire versions? +
The 3-wire design offers a much cleaner signal with zero leakage current, preventing accidental triggers in sensitive PLCs. It also handles a higher load current (300mA) and includes built-in short-circuit protection for added durability.
Can I use this M12 sensor on my 24V PLC system? +
Yes. The 6-36V DC wide-range power supply is perfectly suited for 12V and 24V industrial systems. Simply choose NPN or PNP to match your PLC's input logic.
