Autonics PRCM30-15AO Inductive Proximity Sensor – M30, 15 mm, AC 2-Wire, NO (Connector Type)
Autonics PRCM30-15AO is an M30 connector-type inductive proximity sensor with 15 mm sensing distance and AC 2-wire normally open output.
Ideal for long-range metal detection and direct AC control in heavy industrial environments.
The Autonics PRCM30-15AO is a connector-type inductive proximity sensor engineered for long-range metal object detection in AC-powered industrial control circuits. Featuring a rugged M30 threaded housing, 15 mm sensing distance (non-flush), and AC 2-wire normally open output, it enables direct switching of AC loads such as relays and contactors, while allowing fast sensor replacement without rewiring.
