Turck Bi2-G12-AP6X 4635400 Inductive Sensor PNP M12×1 10-30 VDC

Turck M12 inductive sensor for metal detection

The Turck Bi2-G12-AP6X is a flush-mount proximity switch built for industrial electricians and automation engineers who need reliable non-contact sensing of ferrous targets. Its threaded M12 × 1 brass barrel installs directly into machine frames or brackets, and the PNP normally-open output delivers a clean 10–30 VDC signal to PLC inputs or relay logic.

Three-wire DC cable simplifies panel wiring

The sensor terminates in a fixed cable, eliminating separate connector purchases and reducing potential failure points at the junction. A 2 mm rated switching distance lets the device sit behind a protective faceplate while still detecting the workpiece, and the chrome-plated CuZn housing resists coolant splash and mechanical knocks in harsh environments.

Low-mass metal body runs cool with no moving parts

Solid-state switching means zero mechanical wear, silent operation and negligible heat rise during continuous cycling. The 111 g unit draws only the control current required by the connected load, so it adds no meaningful thermal load to the enclosure and requires no additional ventilation or cooling provisions.
