SICK IQ40-20BPPKC0K Inductive Proximity Sensor

The SICK IQ40-20BPPKC0K is a compact, IQG-series inductive proximity sensor with a 0–20 mm sensing range and a rectangular, flush-mount housing designed to sit flush against machine frames or mounting plates; its small footprint makes it ideal for crowded control panels, conveyor interfaces, and other tight spaces where reliable metal detection is required. Powered by 10–30 V DC and wired with PNP outputs that provide both NO and NC switching, the device draws up to 200 mA and can be wired directly to standard automation controllers without extra relay hardware, offering straightforward integration in control logic and safety circuits. To endure demanding production environments, the IQ40-20BPPKC0K carries IP67, IP68, and IP69K protection, ensuring resistance to ingress during washdown and spray-down cleaning; as part of the IQ Standard family it combines robust electronics with a precise short-range sensing window, delivering repeatable detections essential for positioning, counting, and presence verification in metal-processing applications.
