Product Description
The Turck Bi4-G12K-AP6X is an inductive proximity sensor featuring an M12 x 1 fully threaded short barrel design with increased switching distance. It is designed for flush (embeddable) mounting in metallic targets and delivers a 4mm rated sensing range with a 3-wire DC PNP normally open output over a 10–30 VDC supply voltage range. The sensor includes a chrome-plated brass housing, a PA12-GF30 glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide sensing face, a PVC-jacketed 2-meter cable with bare-end flying leads, and a yellow LED switching state indicator.
