PR08-2DP Autonics Proximity Sensor
Autonics PR08-2DP Inductive Proximity Sensor – M8, 2 mm, PNP, DC 3-Wire
Autonics PR08-2DP is an M8 inductive proximity sensor with a 2 mm sensing distance and PNP DC 3-wire output.
Designed for reliable metal detection in compact automation and PLC-based control systems.
The Autonics PR08-2DP is a compact inductive proximity sensor for detecting metal objects only. With an M8 threaded housing, 2 mm sensing distance (non-flush), and PNP DC 3-wire output, it is well-suited for PLC-controlled machinery, OEM equipment, and compact control panels where a sourcing signal is required.
