It operates from a DC supply of 10–30 V and draws up to 200 mA, making it compatible with common PLC inputs. The nominal sensing distance is 4 mm, enabling reliable detection of nearby metal targets without mechanical contact. Wiring options include a 3-conductor cable (3 x 0.14 mm²) or an M12 connector (M12 x 1), providing flexible mounting and cabling. The enclosure carries an IP67 rating and is rated for ambient temperatures from -25°C to +70°C, suitable for dirty, dusty, or damp environments. Protective features include false polarity protection and short-circuit protection, with an LED indicator to verify operating status. The KIN-M12PS family is designed for DC switching with a maximum 200 mA load, and the 004-KS12 variant is used in applications such as end-of-travel sensing, presence detection, or slot detection in automated systems, where a compact, reliable metal-detection sensor is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bernstein","offers":[{"title":"Used Surplus - Excellent Condition","offer_id":46279926939882,"sku":null,"price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8039\/3450\/files\/GTG-STOCK-072.png?v=1788727429","url":"https:\/\/gtghardware.com\/products\/bernstein-kin-m12ps-004-ks12-proximity-switch-sensor","provider":"GTG Hardware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
