Inductive sensor for flush mounting

The Turck BI8-M18-AP6X-H1141 46150 is an inductive proximity sensor with a threaded M18 × 1 barrel made from chrome-plated brass. It operates on 10…30 VDC and provides a PNP normally open output through an M12 × 1 male connector. The unit weighs 50 g and is manufactured in Germany.

Stable switching at rated distance

The sensor delivers a rated switching distance of 8 mm under continuous DC load. Its metal housing and flush mounting design maintain consistent detection without drift during extended operation. The 3-wire PNP circuit keeps the output signal clean across the full voltage range.

PNP output decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the PNP normally open output function. Controllers or PLC inputs that require NPN sinking logic or normally closed behaviour will not work with this sensor. Buyers needing an NPN output or a normally closed contact cannot use this part.

Questions about this item

How much heat or electrical noise does the 10…30 VDC inductive sensor produce during continuous operation?

The sensor is a solid-state device with no moving parts; its PNP output switches cleanly within the 10…30 VDC range, generating negligible heat and no audible noise when powered all day.

What power supply and cabling must I already have to run this M12 × 1 connector sensor?

You need a DC supply delivering 10…30 VDC and a 3-wire cable with an M12 × 1 female plug to match the sensor’s male connector.

Will the M18 × 1 threaded barrel fit the mounting holes on my older M18 sensor brackets?

Yes — the housing uses a standard M18 × 1 thread, so it mounts directly into existing M18 flush-mount brackets without adapters.
