Product Identity

The Turck BI2U-EG08-AP6X-H1341 is an inductive proximity sensor with a threaded M8×1 barrel made from 1.4427 stainless steel. It provides a PNP normally-open output on a DC 10…30 V supply and connects via an M12×1 male connector. The uprox®+ design gives Factor 1 switching on all metals and resists magnetic field interference.

Installation Notes

The sensor mounts flush in an M8×1 threaded hole and weighs 22 g. Its IP68 rating allows use in wet or dirty environments. The 3-wire DC connection is straightforward, but the connector keyway must align correctly to avoid pin damage. Recessed mounting is supported, so metal shavings cannot bridge the active face.

Suitability

This unit suits automation engineers who need reliable metal detection at a 2 mm rated distance with high switching frequency. It is not for applications requiring analog output, NPN logic, or a larger sensing range. Buyers needing a different thread size or cable termination should select another model.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PNP output is switching correctly after wiring the M12 connector?

Apply 10–30 VDC, bring any metal target within the 2 mm rated switching distance, and confirm the NO contact closes — the load should energise each time the target enters the sensing zone.

The box shows one sensor with an M12×1 male connector; what else must I purchase to complete the installation?

You will need a compatible M12×1 female cordset or field-wireable connector and a 10–30 VDC power supply; mounting hardware for the M8×1 threaded barrel is not included.

The data sheet lists a single order number 4602034 — are there alternative versions or capacities I should consider?

This part number defines a fixed 2 mm switching distance, PNP NO output, IP68-rated stainless-steel housing, and M12 connector; no other sensing ranges or output types exist under this MPN.
