PRCML30-15DN Autonics Proximity Sensor
Autonics PRCML30-15DN Inductive Proximity Sensor – M30, 15 mm, NPN, DC 3-Wire (Connector Type)
Autonics PRCML30-15DN is an M30 connector-type inductive proximity sensor with 15 mm sensing distance and NPN DC 3-wire output.
Ideal for long-range metal detection in heavy-duty PLC-based industrial automation.
The Autonics PRCML30-15DN is a connector-type inductive proximity sensor designed for long-range detection of metal objects in industrial automation systems. With a rugged M30 threaded housing, 15 mm sensing distance (non-flush), and NPN DC 3-wire output, it is ideally suited for conveyors, bulk handling systems, steel plants, and heavy machinery where extended sensing distance and quick sensor replacement without rewiring are critical.
