SICK 1Q10-06NPS-KT1 Sensor

The SICK IQ10-06NPS-KT1 is a compact inductive proximity sensor (IQ Standard) housed in a 10 mm × 16 mm × 28 mm rectangular package that detects metal targets within a 6 mm sensing range, with non-flush installation for straightforward mounting on equipment. It uses DC 3-wire wiring and a 3‑pin M8 connector, delivering a PNP normally-open output and operating from 10 to 30 V DC; its IP67 enclosure protects against dust and water ingress in harsh industrial environments, while a 1,000 Hz switching frequency supports fast sensing on conveyor lines. Electrical characteristics include ripple ≤ 10%, voltage drop ≤ 1.5 V, and current consumption around 10 mA, with a continuous load current rating of ≤ 300 mA, enabling reliable operation on moderate loads. The sensor features a time delay before availability ≤ 100 ms, hysteresis from 1% to 20%, and reproducibility ≤ 5%, with temperature drift of ±10% under specified conditions, and EMC compliance per EN 60947-5-2. The IQ10-06NPS-KT1 carries the 7900209 product designation and is designed for precise, metal-detection tasks in compact automation assemblies where space is at a premium.
