Turck BC10-S30-VP4X-H1141 inductive sensor PNP electrician tool

Industrial sensor for metal detection

The Turck BC10-S30-VP4X-H1141 is an inductive proximity sensor with a PNP complementary output designed for automation and control tasks. It detects metal objects at a rated switching distance of 10 mm through its M30 × 1.5 threaded barrel. The housing uses PA12-GF30 plastic for chemical resistance in industrial environments. This unit suits engineers and electricians integrating presence sensing into machinery.

Mounts directly into a threaded hole

The sensor installs via its M30 × 1.5 thread and connects through an M12 × 1 male connector for quick wiring in a 4-wire DC circuit. It operates on a 10…65 VDC supply range compatible with common control voltages. Fine adjustment is handled by an onboard potentiometer without extra tools. The plastic body avoids grounding conflicts in metal frames. cULus approval supports North American panel builds.

Handles 10 mm flush sensing with potentiometer trim

The 10 mm rated switching distance covers typical part-detection gaps on conveyors and fixtures. Complementary PNP outputs give both normally-open and normally-closed signals from one device for logic flexibility. The 68 g weight adds minimal mass to moving arms or brackets. It does not suit applications needing non-metallic detection or longer range sensing beyond the specified distance.
