PRT08-2DO Autonics Inductive Proximity Sensor
Autonics PRT08-2DO Inductive Proximity Sensor – M8, 2 mm, NPN, DC 3-Wire
Autonics PRT08-2DO is a compact M8 inductive proximity sensor with 2 mm sensing distance and NPN DC 3-wire output.
Designed for accurate metal detection in space-constrained PLC-controlled automation.
The Autonics PRT08-2DO is a miniature cylindrical inductive proximity sensor engineered to detect metal objects only in compact industrial automation setups. With its M8 threaded housing, 2 mm sensing distance (flush type), and NPN DC 3-wire normally open output, it delivers fast and stable detection for PLC panels, small machines, jigs, and OEM equipment where space is limited but reliable sensing is essential.
