M5×0.5 inductive sensor with PNP output

This Turck BI1-EG05-AP6X sensor detects metal objects at a rated switching distance of 1 mm. It operates on 10 to 30 VDC with a normally open PNP output. The threaded stainless-steel barrel measures M5 × 0.5 and weighs 32 g. A three-wire cable provides the electrical connection.

Suited for tight machine mounting.

Flush mounting lets the sensor sit level with surrounding metal, saving space in compact assemblies. The stainless-steel 1.4427 housing resists coolant and cleaning agents in industrial environments. Buyers who need a non-flush mount or a longer sensing range should look at other sensor types.

Rated switching distance of 1 mm

This single figure determines whether the sensor will reliably detect the target at the required gap. If the application demands a larger stand-off, a different model must be chosen. The 10–30 VDC supply range and PNP NO output are fixed characteristics that support this distance rating.

Questions about this item

What thread size does the M5×0.5 barrel need for flush mounting?

The sensor uses an M5 × 0.5 threaded barrel made of 1.4427 stainless steel, designed for flush mounting in a matching M5 × 0.5 hole.

Which wires must be connected on the 3-wire DC cable for the PNP output to work?

Connect the brown wire to 10…30 VDC, the blue wire to 0 V, and the black wire to the load; the PNP output switches positive when metal enters the 1 mm sensing range.

When should the 32 g sensor be replaced if the cable jacket shows wear?

Replace the unit if the cable insulation is damaged, the stainless-steel barrel is deformed, or the PNP output no longer switches reliably at the rated 1 mm distance.
