Turck M8 Inductive Sensor for 10–30 VDC Systems

The Turck BI2-EG08-AN6X-H1341 is a flush-mount inductive proximity switch with a threaded M8 × 1 barrel. It provides a rated switching distance of 2 mm and an NPN normally-open output. The sensor suits automation and machine-builders who need a compact stainless-steel presence detector. Buyers who require a longer sensing range or a PNP output type should look elsewhere.

Stainless Housing with Low Thermal Mass

The housing uses 1.4427 SO stainless steel and weighs 21 g, so it adds negligible thermal load to the mounting point. Power draw is limited to the 10–30 VDC supply range with a DC 3-wire connection. No active cooling or moving parts are present, so acoustic noise is effectively zero during normal operation. The connector remains passive and does not dissipate measurable heat.

M12 Connector Simplifies Wiring

A male M12 × 1 connector is integrated on the sensor body, allowing quick-disconnect cable sets without soldering. The 3-wire pinout matches standard NPN NO wiring diagrams used in 10–30 VDC control cabinets. No configuration software, teach-in routine or diagnostic firmware is bundled with the unit. Installers who need IO-Link parameterisation or an LED status indicator must select a different model.

Questions about this item

How is the M8×1 threaded barrel installed flush, and which step is often missed?

Screw the stainless steel 1.4427 SO barrel into an M8×1 tapped hole until the front face sits level with the mounting surface, then tighten the lock-nut; the step often missed is confirming the 2 mm rated switching distance with a target before final torque.

What maintenance or replacement will the sensor need later?

The 3-wire NPN output and M12×1 connector are solid-state with no moving parts, so no periodic maintenance is required; replacement is only needed if the housing is damaged or the output fails after exceeding the 10…30 VDC supply limits.

What limit appears first under sustained 30 VDC operation?

Continuous operation at the upper 30 VDC rail increases internal dissipation in the NPN switching element, so the thermal limit of the 21 g stainless housing is reached before any electrical rating is exceeded.
