Rectangular inductive sensor for metal detection

The Turck BI15U-Q20-AP6X2-H1141 is a rectangular inductive proximity switch with a 15 mm rated switching distance. Its uprox®+ factor 1 design detects all metals at the same range without correction factors. The PNP normally-open output suits PLC inputs in automation, packaging and machine-tool applications. The housing measures 68 x 40 x 20 mm and carries an M12 × 1 male connector.

Flush mount with M12 connector simplifies wiring

Flush mounting allows the active face to sit level with surrounding metal, reducing mechanical damage risk. The DC 3-wire 10…30 VDC supply connects directly to the M12 × 1 plug, so no terminal block is needed. PBT-GF30-V0 housing resists oils, coolants and cleaning agents common in production environments. Magnetic-field immunity prevents false triggers near welding stations or large motors.

15 mm range covers most close-proximity tasks

The 15 mm switching distance handles part presence, end-of-travel and speed monitoring on conveyors, robotic grippers and rotary tables. Extended temperature range maintains performance in cold storage or heat-treating zones. High switching frequency supports fast cycling lines. Applications requiring longer range or non-metallic target detection will need a different sensing principle.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the BI15U-Q20-AP6X2-H1141 is detecting metal at its rated 15 mm switching distance after installation?

Apply a grounded metal target at 15 mm from the active face; the PNP output should switch high (NO contact) and the indicator LED on the sensor body will illuminate, confirming correct operation.

What comes in the box with order number 1608600 and which mating cable must be purchased separately?

The box contains one inductive proximity switch with M12 × 1 male connector; a compatible M12 female cordset for the DC 3-wire 10…30 VDC supply is not included and must be ordered separately.

Should I choose the Q20 rectangular housing or a different form factor for flush mounting in a 20 mm high cavity?

The Q20 housing measures 68 × 40 × 20 mm and is designed for flush mounting; its 20 mm height fits the cavity exactly, while the active face on top maintains the 15 mm sensing range.
