Turck BI10-M30-AP6X 1636100 inductive sensor PNP M30×1.5 10 mm IP68

Industrial sensing for metal detection

The Turck BI10-M30-AP6X is an inductive proximity switch built for automation and process control. It targets engineers and maintenance teams who need reliable presence sensing of any metal at a 10 mm range. The PNP normally-open output suits standard 10…30 VDC control circuits. Its uprox®+ design gives a factor-1 response on all metals without correction factors.

Verify voltage wiring and mounting style

Confirm your control system runs on 10…30 VDC and accepts a PNP normally-open signal. The sensor uses a three-wire DC cable connection; check that your terminal block or I/O module matches this wiring. The M30 × 1.5 threaded barrel requires a flush mounting cut-out. Ensure the chrome-plated brass housing suits the chemical environment of the application.

Fits M30 threaded ports and frees wiring space

The M30 × 1.5 thread installs directly into standard sensor ports or brackets without adapters. A flush mount lets the sensing face sit level with the fixture, protecting it from mechanical impact. The integral cable eliminates the need for a separate connector and cordset, reducing potential failure points. IP68 sealing and magnetic-field resistance allow operation in harsh, contaminated areas where other sensors fail.
