Turck BI5U-MT18-AP6X2-H1141 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Turck BI5U-MT18-AP6X2-H1141 S395 S1589 inductive proximity sensor provides non-contact metal target detection with a 5 mm sensing distance, designed for industrial sensing in harsh environments such as robotic welding cells, conveyors, automotive assembly lines, packaging machinery, and material handling equipment. It features a 10–30 VDC, 3‑wire PNP normally open output rated to 200 mA, a switching frequency up to 1.5 kHz, and a flush-mountable M18 x 1 threaded barrel housed in PTFE-coated brass for ruggedness; it uses an M12 4-pin connection and carries IP68/IP69K protection. Operating from -30°C to +85°C and built with UPROX technology for Factor 1 sensing across all metals, weld-field and magnetic-field resistance, plus shock and vibration tolerance, it is suitable for part presence verification, machine positioning, end-of-travel sensing, and conveyor sequencing in metal-detection applications. Common replacements include Turck BI5U-M18-AP6X-H1141, highlighting its role in automated manufacturing and production-line retrofits.
